It's not reasonable to expect future versions of documentation to describe the behavior of older versions of software when the behavior of that software changes over time. The rrdtutorial(1) packaged with the older version of rrdtool would still match the observed output. > FWIW I still think it is rrdtool that does it wrong, not the tutorial. But You may not agree with the behavior of rrdtool, but it sounds like it's behaving the way Tobi intends it to. The documentation should describe the way the software is intended to behave (and does behave, modulo bugs). -David -- David Eisner http://cradle.brokenglass.com _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
