[Bug 1732667] Re: rmadison --no-conf option not supported

[Eric Desrochers]

# scripts/rmadison.pl
...
if (@ARGV and $ARGV[0] =~ /^--no-?conf$/) {
    shift;
} else {
    # We don't have any predefined variables, but allow any of the form
    # RMADISON_URL_MAP_SHORTCODE=URL
    my @config_files = ('/etc/devscripts.conf', '~/.devscripts');
    my @config_vars = ();
..

$ARGV[0] being the first argument passed to the program.

So in conclusion --noconf and/or --no-conf need to be pass as first ARG.

Title:
  rmadison --no-conf option not supported

Status in devscripts package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  According to the manual of rmadison:

         --no-conf, --noconf
             don't read the devscripts configuration files

  While trying to use it:

   rmadison -u debian,ubuntu --no-conf apulse
  Unknown option: no-conf
  Usage: rmadison [OPTION] PACKAGE[...]
  […]

  rmadison -u debian,ubuntu --noconf apulse                                                1 ↵
  Unknown option: noconf
  Usage: rmadison [OPTION] PACKAGE[...]
  […]

  Don't know if the manpage should be updated, the rmadison in ubuntu is
  out of date or something else?
