Description Florian Hubold 2012-08-12 17:33:23 CEST

Description of problem:

The mentioned urpmi commands --list-media,--list-url and --dump all have the same purpose, to list the repositories. As only listing media isnot really relevant, could all those options be merge into one. This new one should also accept the "active" keyword as in "urpmi --list-media active" (which by the way is not documented, this should be added to the manpage, furthermore the --dump option is also currently no documented)

Source RPM: (none) => urpmi

First, it's not urpmi but urpmq tool.
Second these options've different purposes, different output formatting.
As for the missing "dump" option, there's no such option. There's only "--dump-config" which is documented in urpmq man page.

However, the Getopt::Long module (which is used to parse the command line) enables to use abbreviated option names:

"Without additional configuration, GetOptions() will ignore the case of option names, and allow the options to be abbreviated to uniqueness.

  GetOptions ('length|height=f' => \$length, "head" => \$head);

This call will allow "--l" and "--L" for the length option, but requires a least "--hea" and "--hei" for the head and height options.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID
Summary: merge urpmi options --list-media, --list-url and --dump => merge urpmq options --list-media, --list-url and --dump
