When working on improving our built-in CLI option help I found some topics I think could stand some feedback and/or discussion, here they go: * The help texts are currently printed one after another without any padding, creating a huge wall-of-text-column on the right side of the screen. Do we want to add some white space or other formatting between them and will optparse be able to do that ? One possible downside is that it will make the already long help output even longer. * Some options might make sense/work only in netinst/liveinst/dirinst/imageinst/etc. or even mean different things in different modes. The question is - what to do about this ? Should each option have an indication in what mode it should be used ? One other solution would be to group the options to groups, say a group for all options specific to an installation mode and a group for multi-use options. For example the firewall-cmd command --help work like this. Another possible solution would be to just print options relevant to CLI use-cases. On the other hand this would prevent people from using their locally installed Anaconda as a reference for Anaconda boot options. * man page ! I think would not be difficult to generate a useful anaconda man-page from the anaconda_options.txt file holding the help text. What do you think ? :) Looking forward to your feedback!
