Fwd: Re: [DOCS] [HACKERS] Broken link in PG docs
Can someone apply Jim's patch at least to HEAD and REL8_2_STABLE? We recently
got a report of a broken link on the website due to this; seems it is still
broken...

Can someone update the link with a live doc? Probably
this one

Hrm... is there any means to update the docs for older versions outside
of a new release?
Even if the answer is 'no', it'd still be good to make the change in
CVS. See attached (btw, this is in the docs back to at least 7.2).

OK, we were aware that the URL was bad, but were trying to avoid
pointing to the cached version. You will see that comment in the old
SGML.
What I did was to point to the Citeseer page, but not into the cached
PDF. I think the text saying "cached version" will make it clear people
have to click to see the paper, and we aren't deep linking into
Citeseer, which I think could be a problem, and the cached URL is one of
the longest I have ever seen.
Backpatch to 8.2.X.

As an alternative, if we could get a copy of the paper and permission from the
authors, we could host it on postgresql.org.

I think someone tried that, but I am not certain.
