Well, what you're doing right here is reimplementing rancid. Which is
wholly unnecessary because we already have rancid, and a more modern
alternative named oxidized. And you've gotten that response already.
Fine as a personal exercise, of course. The inability to download
modules seems sadistic to me, though.

It IS sadistic and I don't have a choice. Can't use rancid, either.
Thus my comment of $next-job and personal exercise in prep for that.
But, while I'm here I want something non-GUI I can use without losing
my mind.
