It seems to me that the command line parser should always accept the
--help
command, regarding the fg-root environment variable or command switch for
fg-
root value.
The current situation is that if I don´t know nothing about FG, I cannot
help
to know something about the switches/parameters (a deadlock).
I agree with you. However, when I tried to fix this once I discovered that
the help text resides in the base package. The program can't find it if it
doesn't know FG_ROOT!
I propose that we move the help text to the core program to prevent this
situation. If not the full help text, at least an abbreviated help
explaining the importance of FG_ROOT and how to set --fg-root.What do
others think?
