Please open an issue in qubes-issues. (Doing so does not preclude discussion here or on qubes-devel.) > 2.

Those pages are automatically generated from the man pages stored with the tools' source code in their own respective repos, so any changes to those pages in qubes-doc will be overwritten. Changes should be made to the original files instead. That way, the changes will persist when the qubes-doc versions are automatically generated. I agree that the tool man pages should not be shared between 3.2 and 4.0 (but they probably wouldn't be anyway, due to the nature of the system just described). > 3.

Documents that we want updated (but that no one has updated yet). 2. Documents that are about old topics (but are otherwise good). I don't think it would make sense to move documents of category 1 into an archive section, since that would incorrectly suggest that we don't want or expect them to be updated. The old Fedora upgrade documents fall into category 2. However, it looks like they (and perhaps the release notes for unsupported Qubes versions) are the only major offenders visible in the main table of contents. This is understandable, since a new version of the document gets added each time there's a new version of the corresponding software. I think it makes sense to handle these cases specifically, by creating a page that collects all the versions of each one. I'll do this now. In general, it's worth thinking about whether we even want to keep severely outdated category 2 documentation around. Does it have any value anymore, or will it just produce misleading search results? (Note that it will all remain permanently archived in the git revision history, so it's mainly a question of visibility on the website.) - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEZQ7rCYX0j3henGH1203TvDlQMDAFAlpqojUACgkQ203TvDlQ MDDG4Q//Q6ND5fzToFv6KKQn4SzkcUSIIZQKtMPTlG9BkC7UCgjFZ+7sxrLA1N5X H+9Z88+QNRL6FBOa6DHpFZOOA6vomzw0HXkTF+g9VcplsJIFZh6iB7lpSta1XwKU 1DG+ayF0oDd8PxKtSjaslMWRsr9p9cApPM7G+z6sGLB34LLZfolx19FRhwcpfBBK 09wyaAzmr5sF9oO8rSxC1llz5u75GatXUu+tHIc3Jh9C4hBtX7MSwyoq7eTkXnKQ VpS35O8thmhm6cEuyNQsUD7ia853lWRcdTur1Am7GIx3jwl7VBQ6YCqanLRLueaI tm4LbBfNrZcxFexHp0mB+veDeIfkC4cJZm8/sbjrHEicK6Cuvp5E0E6iLOaMw9gI y3D1ypbEwMXyYQFPWW0h488pNow9RCrTHTcvBhgyIBw0xhCe0j89RZpbV3UB79k1 n5YRoj36XXRmHho/KVIlFMrzsXE6q9sawU8P1/Q7mBjX3fQLDoOEwFMtHRZTiFLk NOkqv328xsqJy1smKgfFI4cpNMa1+Be0zGjqRWjBFNTqWEoNPkAbDbhbiwYPZYop CW0lDS6b6dc2KCMcxlP+3BwuFC+pS9Yw/Qw2B0yceVjrH0YnLoVkOaqC6ojGx6DH JAFtJLB6FbXssbK3JASOvGKpMxcktfQe3quJZmTaMY2yLkBaomA= =8MfO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
