Re: Missing "--parent-mirror-binary-updates" for live-build 4.x?

[jnqnfe <jnqnfe@gmail.com>]

Yeah, the manuals are very much out of date with respect to the code
unfortunately. I have been doing bits of work here and there to update
them, the largest single instance of which is covered by bug #774730. I
haven't yet thoroughly combed through the set of parameters, but I have
provided fixes for one or two similar discrepancies in them here and
there in patches currently waiting for review, I'll add yours to the
todo list.

Of course you're very welcome to help and go through it yourself.
