[RFE] Add Explicit Unset Command & Unique String to service-level Module
Last modified: 2013-01-07 22:54:37 EST
Description of problem: Currently to remove a preference for service level or release, a user must type in --set "" or --set=, which returns a message of "Release set to:" and "Service level preference not set". I think we should have a unique string for unsetting the preference, something like "Service level preference unset", and then if they do --show on an unset preference, it displays "Service level preference not set". Saying it wasn't set makes it sound like the command was ignored because something went wrong, so while that works fine for --show, I don't think it fits for --set. We should implement "service-level --unset" to remove their preference without having to know they should set it to be blank. Adding in an explicit command also lets us expose it in --help, so that it is discoverable. As is, they would need to read documentation (assuming we explained it somewhere) to figure out they unset it by setting it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sub-man 1.0.2-1.git.82.94602c6 Additional info: We should also do this for the release module, I'll add a BZ for it.
The --unset for service level should result in an empty string sent to the backend server for service level. The server should then interpret that value to null for persistence.
