Description:   Opened: 2005-11-02 10:52 0000 
app-admin/localepurge will remove files without confirmation when run with
"--help".  The copyright file claims that the code is copyright under the GNU
Public License.  According to the GNU standard for command line interfaces
(http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Command_002dLine-Interfaces.html),
all programs should provide at least --help and --verison.  I believe that any
program that may make irreversable changes to your system should honor these
flags, and even more appropriately, provide a confirmation prompt ("Are you sure?")

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. execute "localepurge --help".  Watch files be deleted.
Actual Results:  
No help displayed.  Files deleted.

Expected Results:  
Display usage/help message.

Version: app-admin/localepurge-0.2-r1

------- Comment #1 From José Alberto Suárez López 2005-12-27 01:22:47 0000 ------- 
if you execute "localepurge" without or with any parameter you will prompt with
a message about you need to configure "/etc/locale.nopurge" the isntruccions
are in this file. If you dont edit this file localepurge cannot delete files :)
So i will add a --help(-h), --version for you.

regards
