As long as the option actually works, I'd consider it more of an inconvenience, or perhaps even a documentation error than a serious bug, but I'm sure you would probably agree with it being a minor issue also. Since you've reported it upstream, I am sure that the dump maintainers will fix it in their next release likely, as long as they agree it is a bug. Rather than duplicate the effort, I'm inclined to just wait for the next release of dump to hit the streets, and I'll update our rawhide package to that to pick up the fix. We currently have dump-0.4b28 in rawhide. You might want to test that out and report back. Feel free to update this report to notify me when a new version of dump is available in case I miss it when it comes out, and I'll update it ASAP. Thanks. A dump developer tells me it's not easily possible to allow a space between the switch and its optional parameter as dump uses getopt(). The documentation of dump has been updated to explicitly mention this in version 0.4b28 and you say it's already in Raw Hide, so I don't need you to do anything. I'm setting the state to CLOSED-RAWHIDE. I hope this is acceptable. Thanks for your help |
