Err, that's an _interesting_ way of replacing the '-r' option ;-) I see 2 problems: - the setup is more complex than just specifying the root dir - the user is required to know the name of the lens to apply to control file Anyway, feel free to add these steps in the comment of Debctrl lens. > With that, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to omit the 'autoload xfm' > from the lens ? > > The above could be made much less painful if I added options to specify > one transform to augtool, so that you could say > > augtool --lens Debctrl.lns --incl /path/to/control > > which would do the things above up to and including the load. Which is more simple but still require the user to match the file name and the lens name.
