Yeah, right. Maybe we could get together some time
and understand what's happening over a cup of tea.
Anyway. I don't know ruby at all. In fact, I don't know
any programming language very well at all.
% more `which portupgrade`
<search for "-a", "-r" and "-R">
opts.def_option("-a", "--all",
"Do with all the installed packages") {
|$all|
$recursive = false
$upward_recursive = false
}
opts.def_option("-r", "--recursive",
"Do with all those depending on the given
packages" << NEXTLINE <<
"as well") {
$recursive = true unless $all
}
opts.def_option("-R", "--upward-recursive",
"Do with all those required by the given packages"
<< NEXTLINE <<
"as well / Fetch recursively if -F is specified") {
$upward_recursive = true unless $all
$fetch_recursive = true
}
Fortunately, my somewhat basic English allows me
to understand it. Now what part of that is not covered
by the manpage?
