Ah, yes, as long as one can still build a POPT without these two symbols(to avoid conflicts) this would be a really nice addition for POPT. I would say: go for it as long as is an _optional_ feature!
I should likely state the underlying reason as well, adding persistent configurable default option settings. Both popt/getopt_long have a means to configure options persistently.However, popt alias/exec attach to executables, while getopt_long can save
option values (and presence) in a state file to be parsed. wget (and iirc gnupg) have functionality captured in ~/.foo file parse that is not easily/cleanly replicated with alias/exec. todo+= (with disabler) but it will likely be a while before I get back to studying rpmwget.c needs. 73 de Jeff
