documentation issues

[Michal Hlavinka]

Hi,

I've tried to install Fedora on a few boards. As I've never did that 
before, RTFM seemed like a good idea. Unfortunately, documentation seems 
a little bit outdated.

1) arm-image-installer does not support --list-targets option, as 
mentioned on the wiki

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F25/Installation

I've fixed this one.

2) arm-image-installer points to wrong home
I was wandering if --list-targets was removed or a new thing that will 
be present with next release, so I was curious about AII's home. From 
rpm url I got to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_ARM_Installer
It is either different tool, or it was heavily modified. That page 
mentions only Fedora 18 - 20. Sources should be on github which seems to 
be old sources (last commit 3 years ago) and different than rpm uses. I 
was finally able to find AII's sources at
https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer/

I guess wiki page should mention that it is about an abandonware of same 
name and AII's url in rpm should point somewhere else
OR
That page should be updated to mention correct AII.

3) there should be SUPPORTED-BOARDS doc file as it is mentioned on some 
places, but it's not included in the rpm, only rawhide has it

4) trac for Fedora ARM issues seems abandoned
Fedora ARM page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM
in section Get involved with Fedora ARM mentions trac for arm issues at
https://fedorahosted.org/arm/ It seems abandoned as it has last visible 
activity around 12/2014.

5) no meeting minutes recorded/archived
Wiki mentions meetins and has a link to meeting archive. On the archive 
page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Meetings/Archive/ 
, there are only meetings from 2012 and 2013.


Cheers

That's old, I've fixed the package

That is the current location.

Which page?

Yes, it's fixed in git and it'll be available for the next relesase.
The lack of inclusion was merely an oversight.

It's dead, I'll get it removed. Most issues are reported against
specific packages using the standard manner or to the list.

They're sent to this mailing list and are readable in the list archives.

I meant that this one
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_ARM_Installer
should probably mention AII, but as it is removed now, it's non-issue

Btw, that page is mentioned in fedpra-arm-installer spec as its home page

I see only next meeting reminders, no irc logs or anything else.

When I dig through meeting minutes, I start from this link:

https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/sresults/?group_id=fedora_arm_and_aarch...
