Title:
Please include more upstream documentation in the network-manager
package
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The only sort of documention included in the network-manager package
is the DBus developer documentation. From a system integrator or
builder or configurator standpoint, this falls far short of the
classic Linux or Debian standard.
At the least, some documentation re what files on disk NetworkManager
uses and how to configure them should be included, preferably as an
infodoc or manpages. Considering that documentation for this has been
written already, the lack of inclusion of docs in this package is sort
of shocking.
As a start, even a static render and dump of the docs at
http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/SystemSettings, and maybe
something reflecting the information described at
http://www.arachnoid.com/linux/NetworkManager/ would be a significant
enhancement of the docs.
Yes, there are dev apis, and you can drive most of NetworkManager via
DBUS, and you can always apt-get source, or whatnot. None of those
should be necessary for seeing how NetworkManager drives your system.
