* Suggestion to move Cygwin documentation to more version neutral path... @ 2016-05-29 1:40 Oleksandr Gavenko 2016-05-29 6:41 ` Hans-Bernhard Bröker 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Oleksandr Gavenko @ 2016-05-29 1:40 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin I search for bundled docs to set up sshd and some mount points and surprised that it placed on path: /usr/share/doc/cygwin-2.5.1/html/cygwin-ug-net As far as I know current Cygwin version is 1.7. With "cygwin-2.5.1" part I begin to doubt if docs is up-to-date. So I consult online docs because be unsure if it is actual. Can we have /usr/share/doc/cygwin-2.5.1 with names like: /usr/share/doc/cygwin-1.7 or: /usr/share/doc/cygwin-current or whatever better. I see /usr/share/doc/Cygwin already have special purpose... -- http://defun.work/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Please feel free to suggest website changes and send matching patches. The generic website stuff is under git: https://cygwin.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-htdocs.git The User's Guide, the FAQ and the API docs are in the Cygwin repo under winsup/doc: https://cygwin.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git Documentation tends to be a bit back in time (*nobody* wants to write docs!!1!11) so we appreciate any help.
