Thanks for the reply. I also agree that the docs should be ready first
then the change. I have a friend that may be switching from Gentoo
because he can not get good docs on how to get his network working after
the OpenRC update. It appears the docs he needs aren't ready yet.
What's the point of having a nice Gentoo install if you can't set up
your network stuff?
Did he file a bug for this? We have been working on them.
Nope. He's a ghost Gentoo user. I don't think he is subscribed to any
mailing list or the forums. He just searches for clues and docs.
I have to say, the docs seem to be lacking on updates. I think it is a
lack of manpower so my hats off to the few, maybe even one, that is
working hard to do what is done. I wish I could help more. I'm
disabled and have more time than most to do it but the xml thingy is
Greek to me. No offence to the Greeks here tho. ;-) I do think that
docs should at least be ready a few days before things are released or
the release should wait. Some things are more important and some may
not be such a huge deal but networking is something that about every
computer has to have and some setups are complicated and need to have
good docs to back those people up.
Maybe some devs could help write some docs and the docs folks just
convert it to the xml thingy? Sort of spread the load a little?
Just saying. :-)
