Permit patterns into popt aliases in POPT 2.0/1.17
There have been instances where this feature would be useful, for example http://
The "fix" here is to permit patterns into popt aliases in POPT 2.0/1.17
so that, say,
rpm* alias --requires ...
matches a set of executable basenames. There's other approaches but
the general issue is how to represent a 1-to-N mapping onto a set
of executables efficiently.
Just for remainder, changing a strcmp
a glob match in popt alias handling is perhaps 10-20
lines of code. glob is already used by popt so all the
AutoFu and everything else are already in place.
