RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Thanks, somewhat modifed and merged.  The --simple-md-filenames and --unique-md-filenames options are complementary, we should support both.  Also updated --help, to show --unique is the default.

--- Additional comment from Thomas Oulevey on 2013-04-05 09:58:33 EDT ---

There is an issue on line 189 :
-    parser.add_option("--simple-md-filenames", dest="unique_md_filenames",
+    parser.add_option("--simple-md-filenames", dest="simple_md_filenames",

--- Additional comment from Zdeněk Pavlas on 2013-04-05 10:05:22 EDT ---

Yeah, that's intended :)  Both options share the same destination variable, but there's a different action- store_true vs store_false.  I find this easier than handling two independent options later on.

Sorry, me not reading the full line :)
Thanks! works great.

I asked my TAM for a backport on el6 packages.
