Hello,
I did some work on the Usage: text for pakfire to clean it up. Thanks
Jon for your input. The revision is below.
Should I submit this as a new patch or as one that overrides the
previous bugfix patch? If it's preferable to do an overriding patch, I
don't know how to do that so would need some guidance there.
Regards,
Stephen
