Description James Manning 2002-03-24 03:41:10 EST

looks like --usage (calls to python-popt it appears, but I don't see python-
popt in the component list to select it - ugh) intends to do the nice printing 
of options, indented, line-wrapped, etc. but the last line looks crappy :)

[root@bp6 up2date_client]# up2date --usage
Usage: up2date [--configure] [--src] [--nosrc] [--dbpath=<dir>] [--justdb]
        [-k STRING] [--nosig] [--nox] [--showall] [--solvedeps=<deps>]
        [--tmpdir=<directory>] [--version] [--show-channels]
        [--whatprovides=<deps>] [--channel=STRING] [--gpg-flags] [--nodownload] 
[OPTIONS] <packages>

Looks nice here. I don't see your problem. Are you sure you're up2date?

Comment 2 James Manning 2002-03-24 18:08:22 EST

compare your up2date version to mine :) this slew of bugs are prob. just hiccup 
ones, just ones I wanted to make sure don't make it out.

Comment 3 Adrian Likins 2002-03-25 18:48:56 EST

hmm, looks okay to me. Fairly low priority either way ;->

I'll bounce it over to python-popt.

Comment 4 James Manning 2002-05-15 15:40:36 EDT

looks like it was just that my terminal width wasn't wide enough - anything
narrower than 100 columns and the last line wraps (still on 7.3,
up2date-2.7.86-7.x.3)

Since the relevant line from wrapper.py is:

argObj = clap.Clap(optionsTable, "[OPTIONS] <packages>", aliasing = 1)

I'm going to tag this python-clap and see if it's fixable over there, but I'd
tend to doubt it since the --usage output doesn't appear to be $COLUMNS-aware
anyway - anyone can feel free to NOTABUG this - I may do so myself after another
week of lingering :)

fwiw, normal 7.3 box

up2date-2.7.86-7.x.3
python-popt-0.8.8-7.x.2
python-clap-1.0.0-3

Comment 5 Mihai Ibanescu 2002-07-25 14:45:42 EDT

We are slowly migrating to a different command-line approach, python-popt will
go away.
