#592: simfactory --mdbkey syntax is horrible --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Other | Version: Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- apparently simfactory requires me to do: {{{ sim --mdbkey=optionlist my-very-own-option-list --thornlist=einsteintoolkit.th }}} to overwrite mdb entries from the command line (and --define --substitue --replace --append --mdbkey). I have to admit I would not have guessed that from the help text which states: {{{ options: -h, --help show this help message and exit --define=DEFINE set additional definition --mdbkey=MDBKEY override an mdb key }}}

I would like to suggest to either change the help text to {{{ --mdbkey=MDBKEY MDBVALUE }}} or to support something like {{{ --mdbkey="MDBKEY=VALUE" }}} with or without quotation marks instead maybe.

Is there a full documented list of valid mdb entries somewhere?
