Detailed Description

The current documentation for auto_install comes from an old contribution in Mandriva: http://members.shaw.ca/mandrake/.

The author has been contacted some months ago and is ok for reusing this doc and update it. So it means:

  • cleaning
  • rewrite some parts
  • add new one
  • refresh examples

...

A package will be created including it and translations when available. This will be also available online

Why it would be good for Mageia to include it

  • increase documentation as it was reported to be missing in reviews
  • advertize a powerfull feature

Test case

It will be rather proofreading

Software / Packages Dependencies

No deps

What could disrupt development of this new feature

Planning

Finalize english documentation before i18n freeze

Contingency

It can stay in svn for now while it's not ready to be used. So no contingency really
