Conflicting man/help information (--show-hide vs --toggle-visibility)

[dustigroove]

The man page says:

       -s, --show-hide
              Toggle the visibility of guake

The help options summary says:

       -t, --toggle-visibility
              Toggles the visibility of the terminal window

The help summary appears to be the correct option.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I can confirm the manpage and help options disagree in guake 0.4.3-3 on Ubuntu Raring. I note that guake -h lists the additional command:
  -s SELECT_TAB, --select-tab=SELECT_TAB
                        Select a tab

Presumably this has been added as a new feature while show-hide was renamed to toggle-visibility. Thus the manpage would need to be updated to reflect the latest version.

I took a look at this again. The bad news is that this issue is still present in guake 0.5.0-2 on Ubuntu 15.04.

The good news is that it the issue also has been reported and fixed upstream [1], see [2] in particular. It looks like the fix is included in version 0.5.1 so presumably this will be resolved once that is packaged in Ubuntu.

More good news, the fix is included in guake 0.7.2-1 which is available in Ubuntu Wily, so I believe this can be marked as fix released.

(The only remaining instance is that --show-hide is mentioned in the summary of the manpage. However, this too has been resolved upstream and is rather minor since the option is not mentioned in the main text anymore.)
