[hardening-discuss] Bug#709105: hardening-check: [PATCH] POD options in alpha order, add short options, no pager

[Jari Aalto]

Package: hardening-includes
Version: 2.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

Here are some improvement to the hardening-check program. The patches
are in bzr bundle format and should be applied in order 01, 02, 03

    * 01: Order options alphabetically. Like in GNU manual pages cp(1)
      mv(1) etc. The help options are put last
    * 02: Add short options
    * 03: Send full POD content to plain *stdout* so that this listing
      can be

      a) redirected to a file
      b) displayed in external programs, like inside Emacs M-x shell
      
      As a consequence it does not invoke PAGER which is a requirement
      e.g. inside Emacs M-x shell.
      
      This patch uses internal Pod::Text, which should also be
      marginaly faster not requiring external program.

See revisions logs below in case the bundles do not work.

message:
  * Add -noperldoc to pod2usage() call if called with -h, --man option.
    This uses internal Pod::Text and do not shell out to perldoc. This
    has the effect that the text is displayed as is and is suitable for
    direct reading e.g. inside Emacs M-x shell where invoking PAGER
    would cause trouble.
