Documentation distribution

From
Andreas Pflug
Date:
In preparation for future updates, I created an updates directory, which
will be accessible as www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin3/updates. Currently, it
contains the latest version of the documentation, which should be used
in distributions.

Under *ix, we should stop distributing the documentation as separate
files, but use pgadmin3.zip instead only to avoid confusion between the
zipped and the multi-file version after automatic updates.

The filename pgadmin3.zip is a consequence of the help system entry
filename pgadmin3.hhp; if anybody thinks this name is a problem, please
shout.

Regards,
Andreas

Can you detail a little more please ? I don't measure the changes you described in your last mail.
Does it mean we won't package anymore the PG doc & pga3 doc as flat files and will just include a .zip ? Why not a tgz
orwhatever is closer to *nix ?

Right. doc/en_US includes pgadmin3.zip and tips.txt only.

Because the zip is read using wxFileSystem with wxZipFSHandler, i.e. as
a "zip file system". There' no such beast as a tgzFileSystem. The file
is *not* extracted on the target system.
