Are there going to be postscript or pdf versions of the 7.4 documentation
available for download?

I would like to make a paper copy of the new manual and I have not been
able to build a postscript version of the document from source.

We would first need someone to volunteer to make them.

It's about 1100 pages. Good luck stapling that together. :-)

What is the gmake command to generate PDF docs? I can give it a try but
I don't see the rule in the makefile.

I found I could build them if I do a make html first, then a make
postgres.pdf.

Once run, I am seeing these failures:

If it can wait 'til next week, I can take a look at it, as I'm fairly
familiar with the tools. Sadly, a week today's the earliest I can
conceivably touch it.

I was planning on using a three hole binder and printing on both sides
of the paper.

I did print out a copy of the documentation in the past (7.1 I think)
and it wasn't too bad. There was some redundancy in the documents when
there were separate manuals instead of one big manual, so I am thinking
the current manual should take less paper to print.

that didn't work for me.

It built much farther, but failed with unreferenced sections errors.

Re: pdf/ps docs for 7.4?

Can we add some kind of regression test, or at least a note in the
release process somewhere, to ensure that *someone* can build html/pdf
copies of the docs. I'm not even too concerned if it requires a narrow
toolset, but it's something we ought to have ready for 7.5 when it goes
out the door.

Agreed. I think I have the toolset working, but the build is failing
and I can't figure out why.
