Description M. Schlegel 2026-01-01 22:44:42 UTC
Description of problem:
akmods --help doesn't show all available options

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the akmods --help option to see option flags
2. View the options
3. 

Actual results:
akmods --help shows this:

"Checks the akmod packages and rebuilds them if needed

Usage: akmods [OPTIONS]

Options:
 --force             -- try all, even if they failed earlier
 --kernels <kernel>  -- build and install only for kernel <kernel>
                        (formatted the same as 'uname -r' would produce)
 --rebuild           -- rebuild all, even if they are up to date
 --akmod <akmod>     -- build and install only akmod <akmod>"


But that fails to mention some of the options, namely these:

--from-init
--from-posttrans|--from-kernel-posttrans|--from-akmod-posttrans
--verbose
--quiet


Expected results:
akmods --help should show all available option flags

Additional info:

akmods package was akmods-0.6.2-3.fc43.noarch

Comment 1 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2026-01-07 12:50:59 UTC
We can add --verbose and --quiet to the documentation, but the others are low level non-interactive options that are not intended for end-users to consume. So they have to remained un-advertised from the help perspective.

Can you send a PR with the needed change in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/akmods ?

I'm just a basic user, I write up a bz report when I see something but beyond that I don't know about doing PRs (push request I suspect that is)
