From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061107 Fedora/1.5.0.8-1.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.8 Description of problem: The section of the man page copied below does not describe the priority flag needed when running alternatives --install ACTIONS --install link name path pri [--slave slink sname spath] [--initscript service]... Add a group of alternatives to the system. name is the generic name for the master link, link is the name of its symlink, and path is the alternative being introduced for the master link. sname, slink and spath are the generic name, symlink name and alternative for a slave link, and service is the name of any associated initscript for the alternative. NOTE: --initscript is a Red Hat Linux specific option. Zero or more --slave options, each followed by three arguments, may be specified. If the master symlink specified exists already in the alterna- tives system’s records, the information supplied will be added as a new set of alternatives for the group. Otherwise, a new group, set to automatic mode, will be added with this informa- tion. If the group is in automatic mode, and the newly added alternatives’ priority is higher than any other installed alter- natives for this group, the symlinks will be updated to point to the newly added alternatives. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): chkconfig 1.3.30 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. man alternatives 2. 3. Actual Results: Description of priority flag is missing. Expected Results: Each argument should be explained in the man page. Additional info:
It's described somewhat in the 'DESCRIPTION' field. More info added in CVS, will be in 1.3.31-1. Thanks!
