Description

I just noticed that the Download page (http://www.rudder-project.org/foswiki/Download/WebHome) and the documentation section on installing (http://www.rudder-project.org/rudder-doc-2.4/rudder-doc.html#_install_rudder_server) are unclear about several things:

  • The URLs are inconsistent: we should use apt-2.4 in the 2.4 version documentation, not apt-stable (which is currently 2.3, and one day will be 2.5, neither one is 2.4!) (same for rpm-)
  • We should explain about apt-stable and apt-nightly in the download page (same for rpm-)
  • The "echo" commands in both use "squeeze" hard-coded, this should be replaced with "$(lsb_release -cs)" (see https://github.com/Normation/rudder-vagrant/blob/master/provision/node.sh), so that this will work for lenny, squeeze and whatever version of Ubuntu people are using
  • The download page seems to have a very weird structure: 1) package manager, 2) download manually, 3) source, then a new level 1 title, then more sub-sections... I think the whole end of the page should be removed, and we should just refer to the documentation (and thus avoid duplication!)
  • All references to Debian in 2.4 should be upgraded to "Debian or Ubuntu"
