Hmm, then I guess I don't like those options either; but also I don't
like backward incompatibilities. Sigh.
Since gnupload is only used by GNU maintainers, I do not consider
backward compatibility as critical as with normal programs.
I don't feel strongly about --symlink arg parsing. I've never created a
symlink yet on ftp.gnu.org, let alone wanted to create more than one at
a time.
Yes I understand that. I don't think it would have needed two different
options for that, though.
It needs to be two options because the FSF sysadmins implemented two
different directives. There's no feasible way to know whether something
is a symlink or a file on the machine running gnupload.
Bike shedding question: .gnupload or .gnuploadrc?
I vote for ...rc.
Thanks,
Karl
