I RFE'd exactly this -- check the bugzilla -- it turns out that this is not readily done with the way 'popt' responds; also, 30 months advance notice of probably enough at this point. -- Russ Herrold -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

The matter was noted when it first appeared -- rpm-3.0.4 (March 2000); became preferred at rpm-4.0.3 (Devember 2001); and was only removed as a 'popt' 'rpm' option in RHL 8.0 (rpm 4.1.0 - September 2002) /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.0.4/CHANGES - in the release notes for rpm: 4.0.2 -> 4.0.3: ... - document build modes in rpmbuild.8, rpmbuild is born. (rpm-4.0.3 went into formal release) - has been repeatedly discussed on rpm-list for two and an half years - is the subject of a summary web page at: http://www.rpm.org/hintskinks/rpmbuild/ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
