Description Mads Kiilerich 2011-07-22 16:54:05 UTC 
An annoyance that has hit me several times:

[root@localhost ~]# livecd-iso-to-disk -h
readlink: invalid option -- 'h'
Try `readlink --help' for more information.


It would perhaps be nice if -h was recognized, but more important: We shouldn't pass 'random' options to readlink ... or at least we should make sure it was properly quoted somehow or use 'readlink -- $x'.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 13:48:16 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
