man page: josm.dir.name is not properly documented

[skyper]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Install the package
2. Look at man-page

What is the expected result?

josm.name.dir=<JOSM> josm.dir.name=<JOSM> respectively josm.name.dir=<JOSM-latest> josm.dir.name=<JOSM-latest>

What happens instead?

josm.name=<JOSM> respectively josm.name=<JOSM-latest>

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

The option is not correctly documented while the wiki is correct.

It should be josm.dir.name, not josm.name.dir?

Replying to simon04:

It should be josm.dir.name, not josm.name.dir?

Yes, thanks.

The name JOSM-latest is not used for any directory when starting up a downloaded josm-latest.jar on linux.

Both josm-tested.jar and josm-latest.jar create

/home/username/.config/JOSM/
/home/username/.local/share/JOSM/
/home/username/.cache/JOSM/

if /home/username/.josm/ is not found on start up.

Both releases use the same directory structure. I doubt that this is different when installed as package.

Yes, the packages work as expected. The trick is the start script under /usr/bin/josm or /usr/bin/josm-latest which includes the setting.

Forgot to mention, that there are two packages available:

• tested, which uses JOSM
• latest, which uses JOSM-latest

Thanks for the explanation. I took that good solution as an example for wiki/Help/CommandLineOptions

Currently the wiki Download#GNUDebian states:

The repository contains two packages:

• josm – Provides the tested version (stable). Replaces the package from the official Ubuntu repository.
• josm-latest – The latest version (nightly). Can be installed parallel to the josm package. The default preference folder is ~/.josm-latest.

At least the capitalization in the last sentence seems to be wrong. Please check this. I suggest:

The default JOSM folder name here is JOSM-latest.

I did adjust Help/CommandLineOptions (diff) and the Download page section (diff).
