Libelektra: kdb list documentation outdated

Created on 27 Oct 2019  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: ElektraInitiative/libelektra

Our website mentions the kdb list command here. However, the command is not found in my Docker container. Is the documentation outdated or did I miss something when setting up my container?

As far as I know the website was not properly updated in quite a long time (see also: issue #2897).

Thank you for the hint! I now checked the repo more thoroughly and could not find kdb list -v, so I assume this issue will be resolved as soon as #2897 is resolved.

The command is now called kdb plugin-list.

http://a7.libelektra.org/ should you already give up-to-date information.
