Description of problem: The Help file is out of date. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): n/a How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the system-config-date utility. 2. Press the help button. Actual results: The help file displays a screen shot that does not match the current version. Is an old help file being distributed? Expected results: The help file should match the utility. For example, I was going to log an enhancement request because I thought it was impossible, to quickly navigate through, the month or year when only using keyboard (no mouse). After a bit of fiddling I found that Alt+Up/Down and Alt+Left/Right allow me to achieve this. Which is excellent; however, the help file does not include any reference to this great feature. Additional info: I apologies if this is not the best place to whine about a help file.
I'll move that to the devel version, but the documentation changes should really be done by a technical writer person which I am not. Of course, I'll assist if changes are necessary to build process for updated documentation.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Meanwhile, I've copied the documentation from the RHEL Deployment Guide, this lets us change documentation rather easily (being DocBook XML and not some generated HTML). If you have an idea how to phrase this properly, we can put this in post-F9.
I've checked the latest rawhide version 1.9.30-1.fc9, the manual still omits the keyboard functionality: it states the following: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To change the date, use the arrows to the left and right of the month to change the month, use the arrows to the left and right of the year to change the year, and click on the day of the week to change the day of the week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I suggest the following: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To change the date either: Click on the day of the week, alternatively the keyboard cursor keys may be used to navigate between the days: to select a date press the space key. Click the arrows to the left and right of the month, alternatively the keyboard short-cuts Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right may be used to change the month. Click the arrows to the left and right of the year, alternatively the keyboard short-cut Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Down may be used to change the year. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope that helps.
I know that this info isn't in the manual yet (my last comment was just about how easy this can be fixed now). Having the proposed text here sure does help getting it fixed post-F9. Thanks!
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
changing component/version
I've fixed this in git, but I'll wait for translations before wrapping a new version.
