Hi all,
Philip, can you please change the patches to not use -v. It is not a
good option to use. It is typically used for verbosity. Please use -V
instead.
Really, there isn't an agree about -v or -V to show version. A lot of
programs use -v (gconftool, gcc, gitps, ...), while others use -V
(gnome-system-log, gpart, grep, ...).
So I chose "-v" except for one, where "-v" was already choosen.
Also, I am not sure it makes any sense to do this. The commands have
no
version of their own, they are all the same version as the tracker
package that is installed. It just adds more command line options.
Comment #2 in GB#601799 was complaining about the lack of this option.
For me, this is the kind of option that I would expect in a program,
like "-?/-h/--help". In fact, they should be standardized :)
