Return Missing Command Line Arguments To 2.8
Last modified: 2006-09-14 16:34:49 UTC
Please describe the problem: These command line flags below are missing in 2.8. The -c and --offline especially were used to fix accounts that are messed up or have been misconfigured by users in order to repair them. We use these flags all the time. Application options -c, --component=STRING Start Evolution activating the specified component --offline Start in offline mode --online Start in online mode --force-shutdown Forcibly shut down all Evolution components Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
what do you mean by "they are missing"? aren't they displayed when running "evolution --help", or do they just not work at all? cannot reproduce either of it.
They are missing with --help and also do not work: drichard@oa3:~> evolution-2.8 --help Usage: evolution-2.8 [OPTION...] --load-modules=MODULE1,MODULE2,...

looks like a novell-build-only-issue to me, and not like a gnome-evolution one... :-) mine (2.8.0head) looks like pretty different because of bug 335967 ( http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution/shell/main.c?r1=1.180&r2=1.181 ): $:andre\> evolution-2.8 --help Usage: evolution-2.8 [OPTION...] - The Evolution PIM and Email Client Help Options: -?, --help Show help options --help-all Show all help options --help-gtk Show GTK+ Options --help-bonobo-activation Show Bonobo Activation options --help-gnome Show GNOME options --help-gnome-session Show session management options --help-gnome-ui Show GNOME GUI options Application Options: -c, --component Start Evolution activating the specified component --offline Start in offline mode --online Start in online mode --force-shutdown Forcibly shut down all Evolution components --debug Send the debugging output of all components to a file. --disable-eplugin Disable loading of any plugins. --display=DISPLAY X display to use
goption was introduced by glib-2.10 and supported by libgnome-2.14
Per IRC with Andre, closing. Looks like the GOBJECT removal in the source to get it to compile on 2.12 is doing this. It sure would be nice to compile on stock SLED 10. That one area is the only thing that failed to compile.
