Bug Description

Binary package hint: dokuwiki

Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2
Release: 8.04
dokuwiki:
  Installed: 0.0.20070626b-1

I suppose this is more of a cosmetic issue, but the automatic update checker ought to be disabled by default as really doesn't apply to packages installed from a repository. Also it may confuse new users when they see it saying a new version is available when it is not available from the repository.

Line 75 in /etc/dokuwiki/dokuwiki.php
change...
$conf['updatecheck'] = 1; to
$conf['updatecheck'] = 0;

Hello.

Thank you for that report. Let me check if this really has to be hidden – I think it is the case, as this is what is done with Firefox, for instance – and I shall do the change on the package.

Regards,

Okay, I took some advice, and this is the right thing to do. I shall implement it in the next version of the Debian package, to be uploaded soon to Debian, and then on Ubuntu.
