Package: aptitude
On the man page please mention how does one specify these:
Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose="once";
Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose="twice";
Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose=1;
Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose=2;
"
-v, --verbose
Causes some commands (for instance, show) to display extra
information. This may be supplied multiple times to get more and
more information.
This corresponds to the configuration option
Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose.
"
If you keep searching down for ::Verbose in the manpage itself, you get
to this:
When combined with -v or a non-zero value for
Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose, this displays the entire chain of
dependencies that lead each package to be installed. For instance:
But the full and authoritative place for the configuration values where
everything is nicely explained is here (or aptitude-doc-${lang}):
http://aptitude.alioth.debian.org/doc/en/ch02s05s05.html
Option: Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose
Default: 0
Description: This controls how verbose the command-line mode of
aptitude is. Every occurrence of the -v command-line option adds 1 to
this value.
If nothing else, the default value should give a good idea of what type
the variable expects to get: integers.
It is not a good idea to start to duplicate the information everywhere
in manpage and guide (and in some cases on-line quick help and in-source
messages) -- it takes at least twice the work and can easily lead to
being out of sync (I've been fixing many such cases lately), so marking
as +wontfix and closing.
Cheers.
