In addition to the default values, there is the difference that the documentation states that "autostart" has to be set to "yes", i. e. a plain "y" is not supposed to mean 'yes'.
consider it an enhancement then ? i dont see a problem with making the values fuzzier. personally, i make funcs like this accept any of the common strings such as true/false/0/1/y/n/yes/no.
That should be documented, then. And it should be sensible not to accept anything. A typo like "yno" should IMHO _not_ be interpreted as "yes".
good point ... i hadnt thought of that
I think the easiest way to fix this is to revert the commit.
it's in "next", so it could even just be dropped
Yes, but then I have to rebase next...
imo, keeping the "next" branch clean at the cost of unstableness isnt a problem. this seems to be the convention that Linux started and other people follow. personally, when i use "next" from anywhere, the first thing i do is reset my local "next" branch to whatever the current upstream state. -mike
