is quite interesting. I went to greg's site, looked around and built
this package. It shows up, in chapter form under /usr/share.
I used 'elogv' to look at the directional output. Scant. So
I'm not sure how to discover the gui/tools one would used, other
and manually looking at the chapters one at a time. I quick look at the
gentoo wiki revealed little how to access this or other /usr/share/
documents; perhaps I have missed the obvious reference pages on those
documentation systems?
Sure, it's an old doc, but it could be useful?
I bring this up as maybe a tie-in doc to the GSoC kernel build work
that is currently being performed. [1] Personally, with gentoo being a
strong embedded distro, and the IoT movement bringing in lots of new
hardware to the linux world, I think these old documents are still
valuable for the learning the basics process, particularly related to
small and minimized gentoo systems.
As such, I am willing to help, but, first I think a comprehensive
discussion on documentation on gentoo to tie in all the new, wonderful
additions in the gentoo wiki, to some/most of the traditionally
available documentation sources, is warranted. Decide what to keep and
integrate those resoureces so that they 'flow' one to another for the
gentoo community. There are also, many new documentation resources on
github and similar sites, so those need to be 'integrated' too. A
pattern or template for devs to follow possible?
