Package: needrestart
Version: 1.2-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Hi Thomas and Patrick,
I just killed my X session once again. ;-) This time, because in
interactive mode I expected "a" means "auto" as with $nrconf{restart}.
But instead it seems to mean "all" -- which IMHO is not so useful.
Additionally those keys are neither documented in the needrestart(1) nor
by pressing "?" at that prompt as common with many tools (dpkg,
aptitude, etc.).
Besides documenting the key's meanings (does "s" mean "stop"?), I
suggest to maybe change the meaning of "a" to "auto" and introduce "A"
for "all". I though have not yet many ideas how to indicate the default
value instead of the capital letter used so far: Using square brackets
around the default value seems a common approach here, i.e. use
"y[n]aAs" where currently "yNas" is shown.
