Description

Enhancement Suggestion

Enable Rome to download & read an well know repository map

  1. Keep a well know central RepositoryMap on GitHub
  2. Enable Rome to download it on demand (perhaps rome update-well-known [URL] or default URL)
  3. When running list, download, upload also check the well known map for framework name resolution

Current and suggested behavior

Currently there is no well-known map.

Why would the enhancement be useful to most users

The enhancement could enable users to write no [RepositoryMap] section of a Romefile

Research direction
Investigate the current implementation of RepositoryMap in Rome's codebase (likely in the Romefile functionality). Look at how Rome currently resolves framework names. Then design a download mechanism for a well known map stored on GitHub. Consider the CLI command format (e.g., rome update well known). Check the 12 comments for any previous discussions or proposals. Note that the repository is written in Haskell, so implementation should be in Haskell.
