qubes-dom2-update missing --assumeyes option

[r-cheologist]

Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2):

R3.2

Affected TemplateVMs (e.g., fedora-23, if applicable):

NA

---

Expected behavior:

For scripted use qubes-dom0-update should (as does the underlying package manager) support a --assumeyes switch;

Actual behavior:

Switch doesn't exist and yes | qubes-dom0-update also does not work;

[marmarek]

Any option supported by underlying package manager should work. At least `-y` do work, I use it frequently. Maybe `qubes-dom0-update --help` should also print `dnf --help` output?

You are right 'qubes-dom0-update --assumeyes' appears to be working. Documentation is definitely improvable - should find some time to pitch in. Another example is 'qubes-prefs', which doesn't mention anywhere that it can be used to set the variables as well ... Joh
