However, it is ignored by zprod-manager. Usage information is only available when no command-line arguments are supplied, which is counter-intuitive. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. zprod-manager --help Actual Results: zprod-manager launches in interactive mode. Expected Results: zprod-manager should display the same help/usage text as when zprog-manager is run without any command-line arguments.

This is better than the simple solution of requiring that "--help" be the only command-line argument, as it allows for people trying to get help on particular operations by typing "zprod-manager add --help". The patch doesn't catch situations where additional arguments follow "--help", nor does it check for "-h" etc, but I believe it's a simple patch that addresses the most common situations and is the best solution short of rewriting to use getopt. aross@gentoo.org 2006-11-05 21:28:21 0000 Fixed in app-admin/zprod-manager-0.3.1 74469 2005-12-10 21:58 0000 patch to add primitive "--help" support zprod-manager-help.diff text/plain LS0tIHpwcm9kLW1hbmFnZXIJMjAwNS0xMS0yMiAxNDo0MzoxMy4wMDAwMDAwMDAgKzExMDAKKysr IHpwcm9kLW1hbmFnZXItaGVscAkyMDA1LTEyLTExIDE2OjQ5OjE1LjAwMDAwMDAwMCArMTEwMApA QCAtMzI3LDEzICszMjcsMTcgQEAKIAogIyMjIE1BSU4KIAotY2FzZSAiJHsjfSIgaW4KLSAgICAw KSBtb2RlX2hlbHAgOzsKLSAgICAxKSBtb2RlX2ludGVyYWN0aXZlICR7MX0gOzsKLSAgICAyKSBt b2RlX2RlZmF1bHRaaW5zdCAkezF9ICR7Mn0gOzsKLSAgICAzKSBtb2RlX2V4cGxpY2l0ICR7MX0g JHsyfSAkezN9IDs7Ci0gICAgKikgbW9kZV9oZWxwICJFcnJvcjogVG9vIG1hbnkgcGFyYW1ldGVy cyIgOzsKLWVzYWMKK2lmIFsgJHshI30gPSAiLS1oZWxwIiBdIDsgdGhlbgorICAgIG1vZGVfaGVs cAorZWxzZQorICAgIGNhc2UgIiR7I30iIGluCisgICAgICAgIDApIG1vZGVfaGVscCA7OworICAg ICAgICAxKSBtb2RlX2ludGVyYWN0aXZlICR7MX0gOzsKKyAgICAgICAgMikgbW9kZV9kZWZhdWx0 Wmluc3QgJHsxfSAkezJ9IDs7CisgICAgICAgIDMpIG1vZGVfZXhwbGljaXQgJHsxfSAkezJ9ICR7 M30gOzsKKyAgICAgICAgKikgbW9kZV9oZWxwICJFcnJvcjogVG9vIG1hbnkgcGFyYW1ldGVycyIg OzsKKyAgICBlc2FjCitmaQogCiBSRVNVTFQ9JD8KIAo=
