[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 1/2] bitbake: update help message for dump-signatures

[Robert Yang]

The bitbake -S had been updated which always reuires an argument, so
update the help info:
- Add the two args in the help message: none and printdiff

- Use type="choice" so that we can get more friendly error messages,
  for example:
  bitbake: error: option -S: invalid choice: 'printdiffX' (choose from 'none', 'printdiff')

- dump-signatures=DUMP_SIGNATURES -> dump-signatures=SIGNATURE_HANDLER
