New submission from sinoroc <sinoroc.code+python at gmail.com>:
In the 'distutils' command 'bdist_dumb', the short option 'd' is used
for both the 'bdist-dir' and 'dist-dir' options.
The bdist-dir option appeared first on 2000-05-13 in commit:
ba0506b
The dist-dir option appeared then on 2000-07-05 in commit:
c4eb84a
There appears to have been no version released between these two
commits, so most likely the global behaviour of the command has
stayed consistent.
The short option d actually triggers the dist-dir option, not the
bdist-dir option.
It is therefore safe to change the short option for bdist-dir. A
choice consistent with other similar distutils commands is 'b'.
