Thanks for the patch! But i am not sure if this is a good idea. Adding it this way means that the commandline -o looks more like it would support the same syntax as a configuration file does, but differences exist: Statements do (not) end with a semicolon, scope-usage is (dis)allowed, the syntax to set an option is (not) config::option=value, … Also a -c for including additional configfiles exist, but if we support #clear in -o we should properly add #include, too… All in all i think a --clear(-option) option would be better. What do you think? Best regards David Kalnischkies P.S.: I am pretty sure -o "#clear …" never worked in apt-get. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
