Questions for docs, part 2

[Gervase Markham]

* Our install docs currently include a large and rather rambling section
titled "UNIX (non-root) Installation Notes". It tells you how to build
your own Apache and MySQL from scratch and run them on non-standard ports.

In these days of open source virtualization software, with cheap VMs
available everywhere, does anyone still install Bugzilla on a system
where they don't have root? Do we need to keep this information? Unless
someone argues for it, I'm going to assume No.

i agree that this section is no longer relevant and should be removed.

I do have
the occasional
who requests to run Bugzilla in an Apache vhost environments w/o root permissions.I'd beg to keep that stuff. How about a section "Unmaintained" in the docs?

Do you read that section of the docs when you do so? Is it actually useful?

Are you interested in maintaining it to an appropriate standard? ;-)

I'd prefer the information to be transferred to a wiki page - just as
I'm transferring in the other direction information people are actually
commonly interested in. I don't want any part of our official docs to be
unmaintained if at all possible.

If so, just leave a pointer to the Wiki page, and everything should be fine.

Yes. Using it myself this way on a hosting from external company - no
root available there.
