Hello,
[snip]
To specify provider description has been added a new
`alternatives_for_with_descriptions` function which takes a fourth description
argument and puts it in
/etc/env.d/alternatives/${alternative}/${provider}/_description similar to how
importance is stored.
Does anybody have suggestions for a better name for
`alternatives_for_with_description`? Comments?
I'd just add another argument to alternatives_for. It can/should be empty for
many things, like python3 versions, but it would be more consistent and more
people would know that it exists, compared to a rarely used
_with_description version.
I'd like to get more comments on whether to break stuff to get wider adoption
or make it opt in at the risk of noone using it.. ;)
I vote to break the existing function too. With two possible tweaks:
- we could make a new function and die-deprecate the old one altogether,
to avoid possible misuse to make it pass for some weird reason
- we could add a check that the description has a space in it (as they
should always be at least two or three words to be meaningful, IMHO)
