bcfg2-info doesn't respect -c option

[[email protected]…]

I am trying to test out my config spec by running bcfg2-info and specifying a config file on the command line using the -c parameter as described in the manual page. I get the following error:

$ /usr/sbin/bcfg2-info -c test.conf
Creating new statistics file ./etc/statistics.xml

In investigating the code for Metadata.py around line 68, it appears to use a capital -C argument instead of a lowercase -c argument for specifying the config file. When I run bcfg2-info -c test.conf -C test.conf, the correct config file seems to be used and the program behaves as I would have expected using just bcfg2-info -c test.conf.

I'm running bcfg2 version 0.9.3 using a self-built Debian package created from a local working copy of ​https://svn.mcs.anl.gov/repos/bcfg/tags/bcfg2_0_9_3/bcfg2.

Your assessment is completely correct. I've changed bcfg2-info sources and the man page to just use -C. Resolved in [8adfe17bdd50d32f19ebadefa7c1f26553590b46] (SVN r3111).
