Hi Doug,
Just thought I would write you about an unexpected output from
portmaster to get your opinion. I just ran 'portmaster' alone without
any arguments to get the list of "--help". Surprising enough to me it
searched for a null port and output the following.
===>>> No valid installed port, or port directory given
===>>> Try portmaster --help
Would it be wise if portmaster was run with no arguments that it just
output the '--help' by default ?.
Thanks & Regards,
Or better yet. That list seems pretty verbose just for running
portmaster with no arguments, what about just printing the "Usage"
information instead, along with the --help as a usage.
Or maybe just the Common Flags:
Common flags: [--force-config] [-CGHKgntvw B|b f|i D|d]
[[[--packages|-P]|[--packages-only|-PP]] | [--packages-build]]
[--packages-if-newer] [--delete-build-only] [--always-fetch]
[--local-packagedir=<path>] [--packages-local] [--delete-packages]
[--no-confirm] [--no-term-title] [--no-index-fetch]
[--index|--index-first|--index-only]
[-m <arguments for make>] [-x <glob pattern to exclude from building>]
Regards again,
