Description Dmitri Pal 2012-01-18 21:17:39 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2254

Ticket #2082 introduced a possibility to group options to option groups that can make command `--help` more structured. An example of this feature can be seen in `ipa dnsrecord-add --help`.

Rob's ideas for option grouping:
{{{
I'm thinking about things like output (--all, --raw, --structured), direct 
attribute modification (--addattr, --setattr, --delattr) and 
command-specific. Some balance would be required to not bloat the help
}}}

Thank you taking your time and submitting this request for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately, this bug was not given a priority and was deferred both in the upstream project and in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Given that we are unable to fulfill this request in near Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases, I am closing the Bugzilla as DEFERRED. To request that Red Hat re-considers the request, please re-open the Bugzilla via appropriate support channels and provide additional business and/or technical details about its importance to you.

Note that you can still track this request or even contribute patches in the referred upstream Trac ticket.
