Hi. In <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580773 >, there is a suggestion to rename insserv options --dryrun and --showall to --dry-run and --show-all, to match other programs with such options.
I counted how many manual pages on my machine use --dryrun (1) and --dry-run (17), so bringing insserv in line with the other tools seem like a good idea. I found no other --showall nor --show-all options, so it is less relevant. There are some starting with --show, and 34 starting with --show-, so --show-all would be more in line with the rest, I guess. The argument to change seem compelling to me, as it is a good thing to have consistent options across all command line tools. Any objections? I counted using commands similar to this: zgrep -- --dryrun /usr/share/man/man*/*|wc -l zgrep -- --dry-run /usr/share/man/man*/*|wc -l -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
