Maybe we should just use the default option formatter from python's optparse module. Anyway, does this look any better?
emerge: the other white meat (command-line interface to the Portage system)
Usage:
emerge [ options ] [ action ] [ ebuildfile | tbz2file | dependency ] [ ... ]
emerge [ options ] [ action ] < system | world >
emerge < --sync | --metadata | --info >
emerge --resume [ --pretend | --ask | --skipfirst ]
emerge --help [ system | world | --sync ]
Options: -[abBcCdDefgGhkKlnNoOpqPsStuvV]
[ --columns ] [ --deep ] [ --newuse ] [ --noconfmem ]
[ --oneshot ] [ --nospinner ]
[ --color < y | n > ] [ --complete-graph ]
[ --reinstall changed-use ] [ --with-bdeps < y | n > ]
Actions: [ --clean | --depclean | --prune | --regen | --search | --unmerge ]
Probably hard to make it worse :) but yeah, that looks pretty good to me. Thanks, this is fixed in 2.1.5_rc6. |
