Hi all,
I''ve just noticed that two wiki users edited the wiki reference
documents. One of these edits (to the function reference) was a good
edit but would have been overwritten if I did not find it. The other
edit (s/darwinports/macports/g) made the documentation incorrect,
since the provider actually is called darwinports (even if that
itself is a bug).
I haven''t had much luck making these documents read-only, but please
remember that these are generated documents, and if you edit them
your edits will get lost (unless, as happened here, someone notices
them).
If any of the references are wrong, please file a bug or send a note
to me or to the list.
I''ve reverted the Type reference so it''s again correct, and
I''ve
incorporated the Function reference changes into puppetdoc.
Thanks,
Luke

I''d say the editor(s) of those pages had no idea that the pages were supposed to be immutable -- after all, what is the point of pages in a wiki if they''re not to be edited? - Matt -- when SuSE are doing better than you at publishing the tools they use, it''s a hint that maybe you suck. -- Andrew Suffield, debian-devel

Perhaps I''m confusing that with some other system.You can, but if I subsequently use trac-admin to write new versions of the pages (which is how I write them), then the read-only bit is removed.> Can you put a big stonking comment in the header of the wiki source > to this > effect?

I''ve switched it to bold, and if that''s not sufficient, I''ll try to make it bigger, or repeat it on every blank line or something. :/ -- In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, intelligence is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office. --Ambrose Bierce --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com
