Hi list,
It always bothers me that Google links to version-specific PostgreSQL
documentation pages, usually an obsolete version. This patch lets you
easily navigate to the version you want by adding a new line at the
top:
This page in other versions: 9.2 / 9.1 / 9.0 / 8.4 / 8.3 / 8.2 / 8.1 /
8.0 / 7.4 / 7.3 / 7.2 / devel
The same page in different versions is assumed to have the same file
name. No effort is done to track pages which have been
removed/added/split/renamed -- I think that would be lots of
complexity for little gain. For example, The 7.4 version contains 644
doc pages, and only 68 of those (~10%) aren't present in 9.2. In
actual relevant versions, the overlap is much greater.
I also noticed that the docs table isn't currently indexed at all.
docs/models.py now defines a new index/unique constraint, which
requires manual migration:
alter table docs add unique (file, version);
PS: Python projects have a nearly universal style of using 4-space
indents (PEP-0008). I understand that PostgreSQL itself uses tabs, but
maybe a change is warranted here, since Python is particularly picky
about indentation?

Attached are two patches:
0001-Allow-documentation-loading-without-tidy-Tidylib-for.patch
Just a simple fallback so docs can be imported without µTidylib --
which is not packaged for Arch Linux
0002-Add-basic-version-navigation-support-for-documentati.patch
Actual implementation of cross-version navigation
