Description Alexander Todorov 2011-01-27 14:55:00 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #673149 +++

Description of problem:
Please add a --version option to anaconda. This can be used for logging and testing purposes by QE. 

I know the version string is written multiple times on the console and in anaconda.log but sometimes it's just easier to do `/usr/sbin/anaconda --version'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-13.21.82-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run /usr/sbin/anaconda --version
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
# /usr/sbin/anaconda --version
Usage: anaconda [options]

anaconda: error: no such option: --version


Expected results:
# /usr/sbin/anaconda --version
13.21.82


Additional info:
I believe this is an easy fix and would like to see it in RHEL 6.1 and rawhide if possible.

Cloning for Fedora.
Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2011-01-27 18:59:02 UTC 
output format is:

anaconda <version number>

and then it quits.
