Description

It seems that the github wiki of this project is deprecated and was replaced by the gh-page uutils.github.io. And it can be confusing if someone gets to that wiki by mistake.

Maybe something can be done, it occurs to me:

  • delete the wiki.
  • not delete the wiki, but delete the content and put a link saying: "the wiki is now in this page".
