Comment 1 Andreas Schneider 2012-09-17 20:47:09 UTC
All parameters need to be documented in the smb.conf manpage for a release.
Comment 2 Kai Blin 2012-09-17 21:36:58 UTC
Do we have docs on creating the docs? :)
Comment 3 Andreas Schneider 2012-09-18 07:22:43 UTC
Sure!

/query jelmer

Then type help ;)
Comment 4 Jelmer Vernooij 2012-09-25 23:10:49 UTC
Writing smb.conf documentation should not have changed significantly. Just edit the files in docs-xml/smbdotconf.

"make undocumented" lists all undocumented parameters:

Comment 5 Kai Blin 2012-09-26 05:28:18 UTC
And what exactly do I put into these files? "Not changed" doesn't really help if you've never written a manpage entry before.

What do the parameters in <samba:parameter> mean?
I assume "context" means "share" or "global", but what's the rest? If I have a list of allowed enum values, what do I put into "type", and what is "advanced" and "developer"?

a simple recipe: I (and I guess most others) just take a similar man page xml file and do copy/paste the skeleton (or the whole file) see which tags are being used for what and adopt the content :-)

I think this is fixed:
