Issue #6750 has been updated by Luke Kanies.
We already use gnu style options, so that wouldn't be a behavior change at all. You're right that this would be incompatible with existing commands; my plan was to use this mode on new commands and migrate the old commands as possible. I would be confusing to have the two modes, but less confusing in the end, I think. I am not yet clear on the details of how it would work. My plan was to implement it and see how it worked in practice, and what kind of flexibility there actually is. I'm not sure we can actually tell what's better without implementing both and trying them out. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6750: Interfaces need to support "posix style" option handling https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6750 Author: Paul Berry Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: interface Target version: 2.6.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Posix style, in this context, means that Puppet needs to distinguish between options specified in three possible locations: puppet <a> interface_name <b> action_name <c> Options at location <a> are intended to be global options (those applicable to all Puppet interfaces and actions, like --debug) Options at location <b> are intended to be interface-specific options Options at location <c> are intended to be action-specific options. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
