Hey folks, I've been trying to report a bug in parted, but I'm a bit confused with the documentation about the organization of the project. It seems some parts are outdated and might need to be updated? I think I have figured out most of it (and can report my bug next), but I have some specific suggestions on things to improve.
In particular: - I've found https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/ which seems to be the main page for this kind of stuff. - This page talks about lists.alioth.debian.org, but Alioth as such no longer exists. There is a new alioth-lists.debian.net that has preserved just the list part of Alioth. The e-mail address mentioned still work (I suppose), but it might be good to update it to the new canonical address of [email protected] - It might also be good to link to the list info and archive page at https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel - I've found the archives for the bug-parted list at https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted. However, the subjects of all these messages suggest that there is some bug tracker active, but the savannah page shows none. With some googling I found https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=parted and apparently e-mails to [email protected] automatically create entries in that bug tracker? It might be good to link to the bug tracker, so people can actually search for open bugs easily and know how to respond to them. - The savannah project only seems to be used for source, not for bug or patch tracking or mailing list. Perhaps it would be good to explicitly state this on the savannah project page, since that's were I was looking for these things (perhaps just link back to https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/?). - I've also found https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/features.shtml (and some pages linked from there) which seems to be an even older version of the https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/ page. These older pages are not linked, but are returned by Google. I guess these should be removed? Gr. Matthijs
