Package: devscripts Version: 2.8.14 Severity: wishlist
`man wnpp-alert` suggests that you can call wnpp-alert with "-h" for help informaiton, but the actual script does not implement it. It also doesn't implement the "-v" short option. Here is a patch which implements these short options. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.19-ac4 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.13.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg-dev 1.10.27 Package building tools for Debian ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii perl 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.4-2 The GNU sed stream editor -- no debconf information *** /tmp/devscripts.wnppalertopts.patch diff -rup devscripts-2.8.14/wnpp-alert.sh devscripts-2.8.14mod/wnpp-alert.sh --- devscripts-2.8.14/wnpp-alert.sh 2004-11-30 06:08:24.000000000 -0600 +++ devscripts-2.8.14mod/wnpp-alert.sh 2005-04-11 16:06:01.000000000 -0500 @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ PROGNAME=`basename $0` CACHEDIR=~/.devscripts_cache usage () { echo \ -"Usage: $PROGNAME [--help|--version] +"Usage: $PROGNAME [--help|-h|--version|-v] List all installed packages with RFA or Orphaned bugs against them, as determined from the WNPP website." } @@ -29,8 +29,8 @@ Authors: Arthur Korn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Modifications: Julian Gilbey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" } -if [ "x$1" = "x--help" ]; then usage; exit 0; fi -if [ "x$1" = "x--version" ]; then version; exit 0; fi +if [ "x$1" = "x--help" -o "x$1" = "x-h" ]; then usage; exit 0; fi +if [ "x$1" = "x--version" -o "x$1" = "x-v" ]; then version; exit 0; fi if ! command -v wget >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "$PROGNAME: need the wget package installed to run this" >&2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
