Re: Fail to configure MaxFiles and MaxUse for systemd-journal-remote

[Vito Caputo <vcaputo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Antonio,

It appears the man pages @ freedesktop.org reflect either the latest
state of the main branch, or the newest tag.  Because that was added
to journal-remote in commit f12b399dd6362a03379cb769954ebfb9972236ed,
after v242 released, and the commits only exist in main and the
v253-rc[12] tags:

$ git tag --contains f12b399dd6362a03379cb769954ebfb9972236ed
v253-rc1
v253-rc2
```

It may make sense to create an issue regarding the docs @ freedesktop
being kept too up to date.  It arguably shouldn't be publicizing
release candidate stuff no distro reasonably ships yet...

Vito Caputo
