The popt interface would need to change incompatibly to emit the warning, as the rpm executable is not supposed to know it's helpers, that's what a popt alias is for. The fix -- when I am permitted -- is gonna be to rip out the popt alias legacy compatibility crap. Users will invoke rpmbuild when building, otherwise rpm itself. Continuing to fiddle around with "legacy compatibility" and better warnings etc doesn't even begin to touch the root of the problem: The build modes have moved out of the /bin/rpm executable, and they're not going back again. |
