#44507: port select usage string issue(s) -----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ora.et.labora@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.1 Keywords: | Port: -----------------------------+-------------------------------- The usage string of `port select` is not entirely correct and thus confusing: {{{ $ port select Error: port select [--list|--set|--show|--summary] <group> [<version>] # ok, so a *group* argument is mandatory, right? $ port select --summary mysql Warning: The 'summary' command does not expect any arguments. Extra arguments will be ignored. [..] }}} Obviously not. Thus, the usage string must be: {{{ $ port select Error: usage: port select [--list|--show] <group> port select --set <group> <version> port select --summary }}} My personnel taste on this is to have one __action__ per task, i.e. {{{ $ port select-set mysql mysql56 $ port select-list mysql $ port select-summary $ port select-show mysql }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44507> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
