updateinfo issues

[glum23]

According to #155, work on updateinfo command has been finished. However:

• Documentation is insufficient.
  In https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changes.html, updateinfo is mentioned only once and the mention of it is incorrect (see the next item). It definitely should be listed among changed commands as it default name has been changed to advisory while many aliases (including upif) are not available now.
  dnf5 updateinfo --help does not provide any options while several options are listed in the man page (vice versa problem is already tracked for all commands in Doc: check that all command line options are documented in respective man pages #644 )
• In the section "Changes on the command line" of https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changes.html, there's explicitly mentioned dnf updateinfo info -> dnf updateinfo –info as an example of the new approach in comparison with dnf4, however, the command is now implemented in the old way in dnf5.

Thank you for the report!
I have created a PR #920 which documents the changes.

Regarding the dnf5 updateinfo --help not showing any options. I think that is expected, the options are for subcommands: dnf5 updateinfo info --help.

I'd expect the output of dnf5 updateinfo --help similar to the related man page (especially because all subcommands' options are the same), sth like:

Usage:
  dnf5 advisory <COMMAND> [GLOBAL OPTIONS] [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]
Command:                 
  list                          List advisories
  info                          Print details about advisories
  summary                       Print summary of advisories
Options:                         
 <list of options>
Arguments:                                     
  advisory-spec                                List of patterns matched against advisory names.

From my POV, seeking the relevant options in two steps is unnecessarily protracted. However, the current solution is consistent.

They are the same for updateinfo but it doesn't have to be like that in general.
For example dnf5 group list --help vs dnf5 group install --help.

But I see your point about the man page.
I agree it is something to consider (probably worth making a new issue for that).
