Fwd: PostgreSQL 7.4 documentation packaging

Just got this request from Mark Recht, who maintains an RPM package library
at www.pkgsrc.org. It seems that we don't have an option for compile for
our docs which is standard with other Linux tools. How difficult would
this be to add? It would help Mark keep our packages updated.

pkgsrc is a NetBSD package library, not an RPM library. We do have a target
to "compile" the documentation, which is how the documentation is built in
the first place. I don't know what "standard" there is about that.

I think what he was actually asking for was to provide a relatively
simple way (like a configure option) of installing the HTML docs into
a different directory from the plaintext docs. It didn't sound like an
unreasonable request ...

You can use --with-docdir. There are no other docs besides the HTML
ones, so this allows you to place the HTML docs anywhere you like.
