After emerging =sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.9, the message I see says something like: "... Documentation is available in the genkernel manual page and in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/genkernel.xml" When I go the mentioned URL, there is a warning: Disclaimer : This document is not valid and is not maintained anymore. Reproducible: Always
Well, the best fix for this is to help us patch up the documentation so that it is correct!
I agree. Is there a link that you recommend where I can learn what files to modify and how to commit the updated modification?
Try the man page, but it's probably incomplete. I would recommend: 1) read the source and update the man page. 2) make the guide easier to maintain: very short text, more general/conceptual and add the man page to it somehow so it has all the features updated automatically. Put section 4 in a separate doc. ;)
3) genkernel --help
Maxi, gentoo maintains it's documents in a format called guidexml. Here are the docs to the format http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xml-guide.xml
Maxi, please contact me (or genkernel@g.o.) if you are interested in helping out with the genkernel docs. Thanks in advance.
The genkernel page (genkernel.xml) has seen some updates by now and the disclaimer "This document is not valid and is not maintained anymore." is gone. Closing. Please re-open as needed.
