Description cristiano04 2015-10-09 12:41:31 UTC

Been trying to remove previously failed merges using -P, --purge (as per manpages), and --purge-tracker (full command was sudo emaint -P merges, for example) and it simply doesn't work, outputting the error:

'ERROR: module 'merges' does not have option '--purge-tracker'
merges module options:
 -P, --purge-tracker Removes the list of previously failed merges. WARNING: Only use this option if you plan on manually fixing them or do not want them re-installed.'
emaint: error: Incorrect number of arguments

Thoughts?

I've renamed it back to --purge since the plugin system/cli is not handling hyphenated options correctly.
