As popt aliases are external there is no good way to provide man page documentation for them. popt plugs into rpm --help however. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020903 Description of problem: rpm supports several command line options that are mentioned in 'rpm --help', but not in the man page of rpm. Examples: --redhatprovides --redhatrequires --conflicts --obsoletes My guess is that none of the "popt/alias" options are documented. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run 'man rpm' 2. Search e.g. for --redhatprovides 3. Option is not documented Expected Results: All commandline should be documented in the man page. Alternatively, the man page should contain pointers to where the missing information can be found.
