Same for me. -v for version seems odd. (I am spoiled by archivers and data transfer programs.) But since it is the old CLI, one would have to declare that one obsolete and start a new rectified one. > So, "-V for --version and -v for --verbose" works for me. Since grub-mkrescue stays with automatic distinction of own options and xorrisofs options, one would have to mention in its docs that one has to use xorrisofs option "-volid" rather than xorrisofs option "-V". I personally would drop "-V" as grub-mkrescue option. It collides with the traditional option set of mkisofs, which is in use by many scripts for bootable ISOs. Consuming it by grub-mkrescue would hamper the migration from such scripts to grub-mkrescue. Well, "--version" collides with the mkisofs-ish option set, too. But i cannot think of a use case which needs to print the version information in the course of ISO production. Have a nice day :) Thomas _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
