This brings up a related issue, I filed a bug about [1]. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Documenting how to use UUIDs in the installation handbook. I kept the |
| 32 |
bug generic, but I had Arm architectures in mine all along. With the |
| 33 |
porting of Grub2 to Arm (Linaro) is seems that soon there will be a |
| 34 |
myriad of file systems to run on the newer Arm systems [2] [3]. I |
| 35 |
struggle on how to write up the bug, so feel encourage to think about |
| 36 |
ways to simply or unify the installation handbooks, related to grub2, |
| 37 |
supporting a variety of new file systems, particularly related to arm. |
| 38 |
The existing arm handbook [4] is woefully out of date. Granted, the |
| 39 |
gentoo-embedded handbook [5] is great, it does not address gentoo-distro |
| 40 |
installation on the newer arm (64 bit)chips, akin to the x86 offerings. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
So folks are resorting to all sorts of extraneous documentation [6] |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Filing bugs (new or edit mine) to make the docs better, enhances |
| 45 |
Gentoo's appeal, imho. |
