[mapserver-users] Mapcache and partial reseeding

[thomas bonfort]

Jukka,
yes, the documentation is painfully out of date :( . If you or anyone feels
like updating the mapserver.org docs I'll be happy to assist, however my
schedule these weeks is too full to be able to make this situation evolve
alone.

The seeder options should be available on the command line when you pass it
--help. Those should be complete, however maybe not verbose enough: pull
requests welcome.

regards,
thomas
