/etc/pinforc patch to set CLEAR-SCREEN-AT-EXIT=false

Description of problem:
Pinfo displays debug messages:

$ pinfo make
Przemek's Info Viewer v0.6.10
Searching for indirect done
Searching for tag table done

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pinfo-0.6.10-12.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable the option to clear the screen in /etc/pinforc:
-CLEAR-SCREEN-AT-EXIT=true
+CLEAR-SCREEN-AT-EXIT=false
(Attachment has full patch.)

2. $ pinfo make
3. Press "q" to quit pinfo.

Actual results:
Debug messages are displayed:
Searching for indirect done
Searching for tag table done

Expected results:
Debug messages are not displayed.

Additional info:
In the default configuration, CLEAR-SCREEN-AT-EXIT=true.
The debug messages are still displayed when the screen is cleared, and they can be seen by scrolling back in the terminal window.

I can't see why is this a problem.

> I can't see why is this a problem.

Those debug messages are meaningless to the user, and there is no way to disable them. There is an undocumented "VERBOSE" option that is accessible through the pinforc file, but it only controls the display of the "Przemek's Info Viewer v0.6.10" message:

$ grep -r VERBOSE pinfo-0.6.10/
pinfo-0.6.10/src/parse_config.c:	else if (!strncmp(temp, "VERBOSE", 7))

Compare the "info" command, which is completely quiet by default:

$ info make
$ info --debug=1 make
info: looking for file "make"
info: looking for file make in /usr/share/info
info: found file /usr/share/info/make.info.gz

/etc/pinforc patch to disable CLEAR-SCREEN-AT-EXIT and to disable VERBOSE

This patch sets these options in /etc/pinforc:
CLEAR-SCREEN-AT-EXIT=false
VERBOSE=false

With this patch, the two debug messages are still displayed:
$ pinfo make
Searching for indirect done
Searching for tag table done

There appear to be two test cases:

1. In a terminal window, the debug messages are displayed.
2. In a console (ctrl-alt-f2), no debug messages are displayed.

Disabling VERBOSE breaks the "version" option:
$ pinfo --version

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 15:15:04 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 18:16:14 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 8 Steve 2017-10-04 15:04:52 UTC
Reopen against F25, which has:

$ rpm -q pinfo
pinfo-0.6.10-13.fc24.x86_64
