Description (last modified by Xi Ruoyao)

Most of the wiki pages are outdated or empty. Several links are broken. Pages refer to very old versions of the book, etc. I'm not sure many users read those pages, but if they do, they must hate us :)

Below is a list of pages that currently have "Editors Notes" in the xml. After the wiki entry has been checked/changed as needed, mark it here in the ticket description.

comment:5 by pierre, 5 months ago

My initial goal was not limited to Editor's notes... As an example, even the first page https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/BlfsNotes needs reviewing: some links are obsolete; the chapters are not in sync with the book, etc. And when you descend into chapters, several links either don't exist or exist and give an empty page. Another example: the GNOME chapter is divided into "core packages" and "additional packages", and the first core package is "caribou" (the page exists and is empty), which has not been in the book for more than a decade...

I am not sure how to fix this: we should decide on the information we want to include into this wiki, and how to structure it. If we don't want to give access to users, I'd say it should contain very little, because apart from a few packages, we don't have the manpower for maintaining the information up to date.

Well that was easy. Deleted.

Now the wiki button points to an almost useless page!

comment:8 by pierre, 5 months ago

The https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/TitleIndex page is the one we should look at...

comment:9 by pierre, 5 months ago

Owner: changed from blfs-book to pierre
Status: new → assigned

Well, Here is what I propose:

  • go through all the pages that are in the wiki, whether there is a link to them in the book or not. Remove empty ones, update others.
  • make a cover page (WikiStart) with 3 points:
    • a short paragraph to link to www.linusfromscratch.org/blfs, with almost no explanation here (the present state is to duplicate the information on the www site, but the www site is much more accurate)
    • a longer part explaining that this wiki contains some addenda to the book, either for configuring book's packages, adding functionalities, or building some packages not in the book, but without thorough verification, with a link to the wiki index.
    • a (again short) paragraph explaining that this wiki cannot be fed directly because of spam, but suggestions may be made through email.
  • check that pages corresponding to a package in the book are linked to from the book.

Comments welcome...

comment:10 by Bruce Dubbs, 5 months ago

This is what I propose:

Remove the link to the wiki on the website pages. Then the only way to get to the wiki is effectively through the links in one of the books.

Deleting the pages that are not linked in the books would be optional as most users would not be able to find them.

comment:11 by pierre, 5 months ago

There are 864 pages in the wiki! Some of those are from trac, though. I think there are "only" 809 pages from our own:

  • A2PS deleted, outdated (and a2ps is not anymore in the book)
  • ACE Deleted, last version of ace of penguins is from 2012
  • AfterLFSConfigurationIssues deleted, only links to empty pages

  • BasicNetworking, deleted (only links)
  • BasicNetworkingPrograms, deleted, contains only links (note that the ntp page has been kept)

Replying to Bruce Dubbs:

This is what I propose:

Remove the link to the wiki on the website pages. Then the only way to get to the wiki is effectively through the links in one of the books.

Well, linking to the wiki is needed to link to tickets. Then, once you are there, clicking the "wiki" button will show the WikiStart page, so at least this one has to be edited.

Deleting the pages that are not linked in the books would be optional as most users would not be able to find them.

Those are always accessible through the TitleIndex, once you are on the wiki...

WikiStart page modified. All wiki pages have been reviewed, see comment:11, but the book should be checked for missing links. One page, dav1d, is not linked from anywhere...

comment:14 by pierre, 5 months ago

Resolution: → fixed
Status: assigned → closed

No missing links to the wiki in the book... Closing

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
