2015-11-19support setting empty values (sanely) & removing support forDavid Kalnischkies
space-gapping: '-o option= value' That is a very old feature (straight from 1998), but it is super surprising if you try setting empty values and instead get error messages or a non-empty value as the next parameter is treated as the value – which could have been empty, so if for some reason you need a compatible way of setting an empty value try: '-o option="" ""'. I can only guess that the idea was to support '-o option value', but we survived 17 years without it, we will do fine in the future I guess. Similar is the case for '-t= testing' even through '-t testing' existed before and the code even tried to detect mistakes like '-t= -b' … all gone now. Technically that is as its removing a feature replacing it with another a major interface break. In practice I really hope for my and their sanity that nobody was using this; but if for some reaon you do: Remove the space and be done. I found the patch and the bugreport actually only after the fact, but its reassuring that others are puzzled by this as well and hence a thanks is in perfect order here as the patch is practical identical [expect that this one here adds tests and other bonus items]. Thanks: Daniel Hartwig for initial patch. Closes: 693092
2015-11-04move apts cmdline helper type into -privateDavid Kalnischkies
Its not as simple as I initially thought to abstract this enough to make it globally usable, so lets not pollute global namespace with this for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04deduplicate main methodsDavid Kalnischkies
All mains pretty much do the same thing, so lets try a little harder to move the common parts into -private to have the real differences more visible. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04split up help messages for simpler reuseDavid Kalnischkies
That is one huge commit with busy work only: Help messages used to be one big translateable string, which is a pain for translators and hard to reuse for us. This change there 'explodes' this single string into new string for each documented string trying hard to split up the translated messages as well. This actually restores many translations as previously adding a single command made all of the bug message fuzzy. The splitup also highlighted that its easy to forget a line, duplicate one and similar stuff. Git-Dch: Ignore

Closes: #762758
2014-11-09streamline display of --help in all toolsDavid Kalnischkies
By convention, if I run a tool with --help or --version I expect it to exit successfully with the usage, while if I do call it wrong (like without any parameters) I expect the usage message shown with a non-zero exit.
2014-09-28allow options between command and -- on commandlineDavid Kalnischkies
This used to work before we implemented a stricter commandline parser and e.g. the dd-schroot-cmd command constructs commandlines like this. Reported-By: Helmut Grohne
2014-03-13cleanup headers and especially #includes everywhereDavid Kalnischkies
Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems I have with high levels of parallel jobs. Git-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: iwyu (include-what-you-use)
