#39321 closed enhancement (fixed)

Remove old documentation

Reported by: marius@… Owned by: marius@…

Description

Remove old documentation from /trunk/doc. It is no longer used and it is just confusing. Also rename doc-new, as it is no longer new.

P.S. I would like to resolve this myself, as a practice task. Just give me the green light.

Related to #39051 which wanted to delete part of that directory.

Note you do not need to Cc yourself when you are the reporter (the reporter is automatically notified), should generally only use keywords from DraftKeywordGuidelines, and that "update" is for port updates (which this is not).

That's different; see comment:ticket:39051:5 for more on how they're different. Also I never wanted to delete it; I just wanted the portfile in it to pass lint. You were the one that wanted to delete it after I brought it up, not me.

So, is it oK to delete the directory ?

It should probably be fine. Cc-ing the rest of portmgr just in case.

If it’s all the same to you, could you move it to my user directory instead of deleting it? Call it “old-doc” or whatever.

Has anyone gone through and made sure there's nothing in doc that doesn't yet have a counterpart in doc-new?

The guide is currently generated from trunk/doc-new/. This would need changes to the hosting infrastructure to use trunk/doc/ instead.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

After the move to git, doc-new is called macports-guide and doc is a branch in the same repo called doc-old, so I guess this is fixed.
