[GRASS-dev] r 43228 "note 'wx' in init.sh and wxGUI in g.gui"

[Hamish]

Hi,

re. https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/43228,

{{{
             echo "Environment variables relevant for startup:"
-            echo "  GRASS_GUI                      select GUI (text, gui, tcltk, oldtcltk, wxpython)"
+            echo "  GRASS_GUI                      select GUI (text, gui, tcltk, oldtcltk, wxpython, wx)"
}}}


I would not advertise that
  $ GRASS_GUI=wx grass64
actually works. If it is to work, I would just rather it silently
translated itself to the full name, as "grass64 -wx" expands itself to
-wxpython interally. Advertising it risks that people will try to set
the g.gisenv version to the short name as well, and the subsequent
confusion and problems of not having a single internal name for it.

read sloppy, write strict, and gently guide people to use the canonical
names for things..


thanks,
Hamish
