G7: t.* modules unclear -s flag

[neteler]

What does the -s flag do [several t.* modules]?

#% description: Activate spatial topology

perhaps change to

#% description: Check spatial topology

[martinl]

Still an issue?

Replying to martinl:

Still an issue?

AFAIU, yes. Check for example: t.select, t.sample, t.topology

In grass70 there's still also -s flag in t.rast.aggregate, while that was already changed to suffix parameter in 72 and trunk.

Then, t.rast.univar uses -s to suppress printing of column names in 70, 72 and trunk.

In 72 and trunk, t.rast.algebra uses -s to activate spatial topology (there's no t.rast.algebra in 70); t.rast.mapcalc in 70, 72 and trunk uses -s to check for spatial overlap.

-s is used differently across t.* modules

[neteler]

This should be solved prior to the 7.2.0 release

[huhabla]

Attempt to harmonize the temporal module flags in r69510.

The column header suppress flags is now "u" in all related modules. The "-s" flag is now consistently used for spatio-topological relation computation.

Backport to 7.2 after approval of the changes.

[mlennert]

IIUC, this should not go into 7.0.5.

Please backport (we are close to RC2)

[huhabla]

Backport done in r69830.

Do I understand correctly that renamed_options​ is really just for options, not flags, right? Anyway, it would be good to keep the original flag where possible (even manually by putting there another flag).

Renamed flags have been added to renamed_options file in relbr72 and trunk.
