Description of problem: I find out a few inconsistencies in spacewalk-repo-sync --help & man spacewalk-repo-sync. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-java-2.5.14-77. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. spacewalk-repo-sync --help 2. man spacewalk-repo-sync Actual results: 1. Option "lastest" is missing in man page. > spacewalk-repo-sync --help -n, --latest Sync latest packages only. Use carefully - you might need to fix some dependencies on your own. 2. In the man page, there is missing value of "config" option (paragraph OPTIONS). > spacewalk-repo-sync --help -g CONFIG, --config=CONFIG Configuration file > man spacewalk-repo-sync -g, --config Configuration file where more than one channel can be specified for synchronization. See section Examples. 3. The values for options include/exclude are named differently. It's confusing, the options expect filter / expression or exact name of package. > spacewalk-repo-sync --help -i FILTERS, --include=FILTERS List of included packages -e FILTERS, --exclude=FILTERS List of excluded packages > man spacewalk-repo-sync -i PKG1,PKG2..., --include PKG1,PKG2... Comma or space separated list of included packages. -e PKG1,PKG2..., --exclude PKG1,PKG2... Comma or space separated list of excluded packages. 4. Option "quiet" is missing in Sat5.8. In Sat5.7 there is this option. Sat5.7 > spacewalk-repo-sync --help -q, --quiet Print no output, still logs output Expected results: The consistent information in both manuals. Item 1,2 & 4 are regresion against Sat5.7.
Option "quiet" was removed in upstream 1d796ba2f83ef03375b30781cffd5a64c51a4d75 (this commit is already included in Sat 5.8). The rest of problems are fixed in upstream. spacewalk.git: 7b929c61e32d0df930478733cbadf719e585f05a
Verified with spacewalk-backend-2.5.3-152. Help and manpage are now still not the same but they are consistent. Issues 1, 2 and 3 have been fixed and issue 4 is not a bug.
