I am not sure on that because they change our default configuration. And they do it in a way which seems to confuse many users. At least I think they should describe there changes and describe how to migrate with their changes. > >> "Ok, I moved that file that Debian put there and it got further." > > Yes, on that, don't you think it's a bug if I explicitly tell the moin command > --config-dir=foo and it picks up config on bar? What's the point of being > explicit then? The problem is that they have changed the default configuration of moin and didn't tell you. With debian you get a farm configuration on default. A farm configuration selects its config file by a regex match of given url. The bug is that they haven't told you. And I am not sure if they tell anything after you did the package update that your wiki data needs migration. > >> Or if you don't install the debian package and our description is >> confusing help improving it. >> >> for 1.9 e.g. >> http://master19.moinmo.in/HelpOnUpdating > > I'll take a look.
