Subject: insserv: rename option --dryrun to the more commonly used --dry-run

Date: Sat, 8 May 2010 15:29:01 +0200 (CEST)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: insserv
Version: 1.14.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

See also the man pages for:

	patch, make, apt-get

for example.

You may consider doing something similar with the --showall option, i.e.
rename it to:

	--show-all

The motivation is: 'dry' and 'run' (as well as 'show' and 'all') are two
distinctive words.  Dictionaries reveal:

From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:

  dry run
      n 1: a practice session in preparation for a public performance
           (as of a play or speech or concert); "he missed too many
           rehearsals"; "a rehearsal will be held the day before the
           wedding" [syn: {rehearsal}, {dry run}]

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 January 2010) [foldoc]:

  dry run

     <programming> To execute a program by hand, writing values of
     variables and other run-time data on paper, in order to check
     its operation and {control flow} or to track down a {bug} (as
     part of {debugging}).  A dry run is an extreme form of {desk
     check} or {code review} and is practical only for fairly
     simple programs, small amounts of data and simple external
     interfaces.  It was often performed {off-line} using a
     {hardcopy} of the {source code}.

     Dry runs were common practice in the days when access to
     computers was limited but the availability of {screen editors}
     and fast {compilers} makes {debugging by printf} a more
     productive method in most cases.  Sophisticated {debuggers}
     that allow you to get the computer to step through your source
     code line by line and show values of variables make even this
     unnecessary.

Updated insserv to handle both --dryrun and --dry-run. Can also use
either --show-all or --showall. Updated manual pages to match upstream.

This change will appear in insserv 1.18.0.

Since insserv-1.18 is in sid, this bug is closed. I am sorry, that I
forgot to add apporiate (Closes: #nnn) entry into changelog.
