abathur LnL I read the proposed changes to the documentation and in my opinion they are good. I feel inclined to remove the symlink part altogether as one of the comments suggests
<RosaCtrl>
Also I noticed that abathur's PR includes changes to the install script. I think it would be nice to have the manual procedure detailed as soon as possible
<RosaCtrl>
My understanding is that a fully automated installation script is not ready yet and it may take time to get it right
<LnL>
are you referring to the current stuff or encryption?

Both? I did the Catalina install months ago and I don't know what is the current state of the script TBH
<LnL>
it's pretty much ready
<RosaCtrl>
Interesting... I may play with it now. In that case ignore my last comment

I'm around as well

LnL: curious what you have in mind (like, structurally/visually) for documenting the "ideal" solutions?
<abathur>
I could imagine sticking in a footnote, for example, to keep those from interrupting the flow
<abathur>
but if you're hoping that, say, people at Apple notice that the process sucks and see a list of what they could do to make it suck less...
<abathur>
maybe it should be in some sort of sidebar/admonition/note element with sirens and searchlights? :)
<abathur>
FWIW: I'm not really familiar with docbook
<LnL>
not really sure
<LnL>
somebody at apple seeing it is one reason
<LnL>
but more importantly giving somebody that ends up there an indication of "why is this co complicated?"
<abathur>
yeah
<abathur>
I guess even if we could use groupWith/role to get an additional volume filevault-encrypted along with the boot volume, there would still be race conditions around getting it mounted in time?
<abathur>
I roughly intended to get as much unactionable explainerish stuff (like the description of what a firmlink is) as possible out of the flow until the golden path is laid, so by that razor I would be inclined to explain this in the notes on the recommended approach
<abathur>
but, it would also be amazing if someone from Apple did notice it sucks and did have an obvious fix in their face...

right that also makes sense
<LnL>
don't feel that strongly about it, just a thougt
