RC3 ...
For those that want to get in before the rush, I'm going to do an announce
this evenin to -general and -announce ...
Vince, can you make appropriate changes to the WebSite as far as linking
to it is concerned, so that the mirrors pick up the new links also?
Thanks ..

It looks like you wrapped the intermediate (broken) state of
interfaces/odbc/convert.c that Hiroshi had in there for a few hours.
Dunno if this is important enough to re-wrap RC3 for; it might affect
a few ODBC users ...

Does it look like this it gonna be the one? It's stable and all that?
Once it's on the website no matter what moniker it's got (up to and
including "DANGER THIS IS BROKEN SO DON'T USE IT") it will be viewed
as the golden apple so I want to avoid another full mailbox. I'll
probably wait till tomorrow evening (if you announce tonite) just to
be sure.

Okay, let's let this sit as RC3 for the next week, as soon as someone
makes a change, I'll do up a new RC# that night ... if we can get a nice
quiet period where nobody pops up with "just one more thing", let's try
for a release for next Friday ... *cross fingers* *grin*

So does RC3 have the docs and the odbc thing mentioned earlier rolled
in?

Yes, just re-bundled it ...

I'll go ahead and start generating hardcopy, though I understand that it
is no longer allowed into the shipping tarball :(
Lamar, do you plan to continue to package the hardcopy somewhere in the
RPMs? If so, I'll have them ready soon.

I didn't for 7.0, IIRC. Or maybe I did for 7.0, but then didn't for
7.0.2? I'll have to go back to the changelog....
I am open to suggestion -- should it be part of the main postgresql RPM
with the source and html docs, or should it be a separate package, such
as postgresql-hardcopy-docs? Ideas? Comments?
The 'Internals' document is still in the main package, FWIW.

Thomas, will you be doing .pdf files? I have had requests to put that
in the Debian documentation package.

At 2Meg, is there a reason why we include any of the docs as part of the
standard tar ball? It shouldn't be required to compile, so should be able
to be left out of the main tar ball and downloaded seperately as required
.. thereby shrinking the distribution to <6Meg from its current 8 ...

We may already do so, but include the upgrade instructions, first time
install instructions and basic startup. Then bundle the docs as they
normally come in the tarball as a separate set (alone). A number of
other packages are done this way. If we want to include a be-all-end-all
we can do that too. Of course other doc formats/sets will also be
available.
Vince.

Can we drop TODO.detail from the tarball too? No need to include that,
I think. The web site has nice links to it now. Uncompressed it is
1.314 megs.

tarball, I don't object to that. I'm not sure why those weren't
distributed as separate tarballs from the get-go. I just say that the
doc sources are part of the source distribution...
From the get-go, the docs were not, uh, useful docs. They have grown
quite a bit from 1996 (with sources and formatting, probably by orders
of magnitude).

afaik, I don't have the means to generate pdf directly. Pointers would
be appreciated, if there are mechanisms available on Linux boxes.
We have had lots of offers of help for these conversions, so when the
hardcopy is ready we can ask someone to convert from there. OK?

Definitely, I think TODO.detail should be refer'd to by the TODO file, but
not included in the distribution itself ...
