Is it easy to make updates to the documentation?
I haven't seen a reply to this so I'll take a stab at it, although I don't really know the proper procedure. Mr. Barratt will know. It's not clear to me where you saw the "BackupPC documentation" which you mentioned in your OP. There are lots of copies of documentation for all sorts of packages dotted around the planet. Many of them were taken without the knowledge or consent of the originators. In that case a period of neglect is almost inevitable, and then they're out of date, and they invariably cause needless confusion. So you first need to be sure that what you're proposing to update is the right stuff. Assuming that you have found the right starting documents, I guess you would get an account on Github, clone the repo using the link near the bottom right of that page, edit as you wish, then make a pull request: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pulls Mr. Barratt would then review the changes and merge if OK, see for example https://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00860.html It would be best to get confirmation that I'm on the right track here. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
