I care much less about that, and much more about the fact that these highly position-sensitive options cause me trouble every time I hit a tool that uses them. I don't think they are a big win for the interfaces work, if we can possibly avoid them. > I am not yet clear on the details of how it would work.

One other problem I can see is, in essence, how would you envision passing this in a richer data structure? It would be good to think about mapping these to, say, RPC calls, or messages, and that gets kind of confusing when the target is a single "action", but we need to pass options to multiple places? ---------------------------------------- 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.
