Hardcopy docs about ready
I'm planning on uploading the hardcopy docs and man pages to
postgresql.org in an hour or two. Will confirm that it happened when I
return home from work this evening (in 8-10 hours).
The docs ToDo list for release is (afaicr):
1) Generate the INSTALL text file and commit.
2) Modify the release tarball builder (scrappy?) to
- pick up the usual hardcopy, man pages, and html tarballs
- pick up additional new hardcopy files in A4 format
(additional distro tarball?)
3) If there is time:
- fix missing URL links within the chapter on ecpg in user.ps
- do minor formatting cleanup in user.ps reference pages
The A4-formatted files should be more usable for our non-US
colleagues.

OK, the docs were uploaded a few hours ago. Look in
http://postgresql.org/users-lounge/7.0/docs/
for some gzipped .ps and .tar files. Apparently scrappy has already
built a release candidate with these files included.
Marc, how did you handle the A4 format files? Are they included with
everything else, or are (some of) the docs split into separate
tarballs for distribution?

Damn damn damn ... okay, I only included the .tar.gz files in the
distribution :( I'll change it to include all the .gz files, and do
a quick 'docs fix' RC4 over the next day or so, once we have this all
sorted out ...
As things are now, there is one big tar file that has everything, and then
smaller tar files that split up the distribution into more manageable
chunks, docs being one of them ...
