[Clfs-support] clfs trac/wiki: bootloaders: preferred src-format for editing, for sending patches.

[akhiezer]

Hi,

The clfs trac/wiki bootloaders pages - for grub (-legacy), grub2, &
syslinux - could do with some tidy-up for some typoes [sic..] & similar.

Is it preferred that the xml or html or markdown or what, be edited,
and the patches/diffs mailed to this list: what src-format is preferred?

The patches are just simple typo/&c fixes: there's no changes to
structure of pages, or technical matters, &c.



rgds,

The trac wiki is just a wiki, you edit it through the normal website
interface, there's no git repo or other source control system which
generates the trac pages (that I know of).

You need to have a trac account which has wiki edit privileges to do
this (I believe the WIKI_MODIFY permission is the one). I believe any
authenticated user is able to create and edit tickets, but there appears
to be a separate permission for wiki modifications.

If you don't have a trac account, I can create one for you. If you want
me to do this, send me an off-list email with the username, email
address, and real name you'd like to be associated with your trac
account. I'll send you back a temporary password that you can then
login with and change.

Thanks,
Andrew

OK. Have (essentially) setup local-tracking (here) of said content
(todo: perh entire wiki) as a sort-of remote-branch.

So, now it's a matter of setting up some sort of efficient 'push';
for, editing the wiki directly via its gui via a web-browser login,
is a bit too donkey-like.


But either way, yes, a login would be useful, thanks; and yes, is for
responsible, careful, co-operative usage, only.


As noted earlier, imho clfs-embedded should have at least one of the
bootloaders as an integral part of the book.

You need to have a trac account which has wiki edit privileges to do
this (I believe the WIKI_MODIFY permission is the one). I believe any
