What is it? Don't aliases supercede root_dir.cap? Why is root_dir.cap still mentioned in the --help output and docs/using.html?

Which commands use root_dir.cap, and which use aliases?

nejucomo added this to the eventually milestone 2008-06-01 20:13:27 +00:00

root_dir.cap is used to provide the target of the default "tahoe:" alias, for compatibility with existing nodes (so "tahoe ls" does the same thing for 1.0 and 1.1).

Yeah, docs need to be cleaned up to capture this. Moving to 1.1.0 milestone, it's probably important enough to pull in.

I think this is better now, with the docs fixes in changeset:3e8d58767fa370a4 and changeset:313876263d698b53. I'm going to close this.. if those docs don't seem clear, feel free to re-open it.
