Yeah, that was the *first* rewrite, when it got sort-of renamed but the package name remained the same. The *second* rewrite happened between April and now and resulted in the new package. > 3. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2016-04-19_Fedora_Media_Writer > > which says "sudo dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --best install > liveusb-creator" Ditto, that was the test day from April, when the package rename had not yet happened. > Positions 2. and 4. are about mediawriter, 5. is again about liveusb-creator, > then a bunch is about mediawriter.

Well, they're both kinda transient pages, I'd expect that over time they'll simply naturally drop out of the top of the Google results. We have lots and lots of old Test Day pages with no-longer-current data in them, it'd be a full-time job going through them all and sticking banners in them where they're no longer accurate... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
