GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 796411
Enhancements request – URL links
Last modified: 2018-08-22 16:33:32 UTC
Component: gparted.x86_64 0.31.0-1.fc28 @fedora 1. As a general observation Gparted communicates about its site by referring to it with obsolete URL links –by the way using HTTP which is an insecure protocol– while Gparted uses currently a secure protocol –HTTPS–: In terminal, output resulting from: – 'man gparted'. – 'dnf info gparted' ('dnf': command applies to Fedora OSs) in GUI, in section Help |: – About – Contents (key F1). Page 'Acquiring GParted on Live CD'. At http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/ consider to update title 'Fedora 27' to 'Fedora 28'.
The information and URL reported by 'dnf info gparted' is from the Fedora package of GParted. You will need to contact the Fedora Project to get that updated. The www.system-rescue-cd.org web site is completely separate to the GParted project. You will need to contact them about making changes to their web site. The remaining URLs from: - 'man gparted'. - About - Contents (key F1). Page 'Acquiring GParted on Live CD'. are part of the GParted code base and remain valid requests. Also please note that http://gparted.org automatically redirects to https://gparted.org.
After checking the GParted Manual (Help > Contents) had all URLs changed, include the one on the 'Acquiring GParted on Live CD' page, to https://gparted.org in GParted 0.30.0.
Created attachment 372438 [details] [review] Update URLs to https://gparted.org (v1) Hi Curtis, Here's a patchset to update all the outstanding URLs in the GParted code GIT repository to use https://gparted.org ... Thanks, Mike
Patch set v1 looks good to me. Patch set v1 from comment #3 has been committed to the git repository for inclusion in the next release of GParted. The relevant git commits can be viewed at the following links: Update URLs in the app to https://gparted.org (#796411) https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/commit/672a2f9c71036cff3c5e69ab81acf11e82ef05da Update URLs in the remaining files to https://gparted.org (#796411) https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/commit/b51726cb4f20ba105b77fd9c15d64ab78c18383a Update SystemRescueCd URL in the GParted Manual https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/commit/015238073c9d918955a1787f1c5f5ee5dddf88a5 Increment GParted Manual version https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/commit/9c078d98435056e3186cb30e878c158a8ea2fccd
New observation – GParted Manual » Getting Started » Running gparted from a Command Line – (...) ̈́gparted /path-to-your-device1 /path-to-your-device2'. That documented part is inaccurate since such command does display as expected at most one device at a time, in that case the one whose partition is /dev/sda. $ gparted /dev/sda /dev/sdb Additional information: $ lsblk -I 8 NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 232.9G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 1G 0 part /boot └─sda2 8:2 0 231.9G 0 part ├─fedora_localhost--live-root 253:0 0 150G 0 lvm / ├─fedora_localhost--live-swap 253:1 0 4G 0 lvm [SWAP] └─fedora_localhost--live-home 253:2 0 78G 0 lvm /home sdb 8:16 1 3.6G 0 disk └─sdb1 8:17 1 3.6G 0 part /run/media/yk/FEDORA
That section of the GParted Manual is correct. Please read: GParted Manual > Working with Devices > Selecting a Device as it describes one way to change which device is viewed in the GParted main window. This bug report is about out of date URLs in GParted app and documents. That has been resolved by the above mentioned committed changes. Please don't ask further unrelated questions here. The correct location for asking for help using GParted is the forums, found linked from here: https://gparted.org/forum.php
Then no object for enhancement regarding the documentation, which was presently the reason for Comment 5. Expression involved may remain as it is – confusing –. My mistake; it was not related to the present report.
This enhancement was included in the GParted 0.32.0 release on August 22, 2018.
