Hi,
it seems the A.L.F.R.E.D. component and his vis is getting released
soon http://git.open-mesh.org/alfred.git/commit/fac591b6d8a8a9eaca33a0d7614433cb…
But where are the man pages? Don't you think it would be nice for
people when they can read how it is used in a standard unix way? At
least they need to use it because this functionality is removed in
batman-adv soon.
http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/open-mesh/wiki/2013-07-29-batman-adv-2013…
I can't find the manpages for both binaries in the tarball
http://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/stable/sources/alfred/alfred-2013.3.0…
And isn't the name vis potentially problematic and bad named after
all? "vis" doesn't tell anyone about the connection to batman-adv and
it sounds more like a GUI program to visualize stuff (mathematical
equations?). And it clashes directly with the vis of batmand. So I
cannot install both on the same system in a unix manner.

Hey Braden,
thanks for your feedback!

Actually, alfred was just release a couple of hours ago, although the
announcement is to come soon after.

There is quite a lot of information in the README to get going, but yes,
a manpage would be great. If there is anyone who could contribute one,
I would be very happy, if not I'll write one myself prior to the next
release.

There won't be one for now. Please stick to the README for now.
And isn't the name vis potentially problematic and
bad named after

I don't know if it sounds like a GUI program, we have used that name
for years in the various iterations and no complaints so far. The
clash with the old batmand-vis is true however. I'm not sure if anyone
still uses that, but I'm open to suggestions how to handle that.
Is there anyone using the old vis? I'd appreciate any ideas, discussions,
comments. :)
Cheers,
Simon
