version command queries

[nitram]

1)
'version -l' appears redundant to 'version', query streamline:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/usr/bin$ version
dCore-jessie:2015.12.20.21.26
tc@box:/usr/bin$ version -l
dCore-jessie:2015.12.20.21.26

2)
'version -c' and 'version -r' appear backwards:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/usr/bin$ version -c
Warning:
You are running dCore-jessie:2015.12.20.21.26
The latest release is dCore-jessie:2015.12.19.12.55
tc@box:/usr/bin$ version -r
You are running dCore-jessie:2015.12.20.21.26, the latest release candidate.
Shouldn't  -c  stand for release CANDIDATE and  -r  stand for REGULAR RELEASE?

-c in Core is for the release, I left it that way for consistency between Core and dCore although I see your point.  Same with the -l, I wanted to leave it the same.

I try to leave the utilities as close to behaving the same as I can so one does not have to use -c for release in Core, and -r in dCore for the same output.  And that allows utilities that use things like version to be alble to more easily just work when ported to dCore.

Understood, thanks for the explanation.
