Thread: the Chinese version docs
Hi: All, I've make a translation of our docs into Chinese in html format, mainly base v6.4 and v6.5 and I'm manage to keep up with the newese version now. You may find it at: http://www.linuxforum.net/books/postgresNEW/ and http://www.linuxforum.net/books/postgres/ or http://laser.zhengmai.com.cn Any comment are appreciate. regards Laser

Very impressive! Though I don't stand a chance of actually reading them ;) Vince, can we get a link on our main web site for this? Henry, do you have a preferred address for them, and would you like them mirrored on the postgresql.org web site and/or ftp site? - Thomas -- Thomas Lockhart lockhart@alumni.caltech.edu South Pasadena, California

At present, I'll put them on those site and do update, and I'll very appreciate for you to mirror them also. Thanks. Henry

Could we use wget or something to snarf them on a regular basis? Also, I know we were waiting until after v7.0 to rearrange the doc locations in the directory tree, but I'd like to consider doing that now. Could we have subdirectories, say docs/v6.5/ and docs/v7.0/ for released versions, and for the development docs either the same locations as now (e.g. docs/postgres/ and docs/user/) or another subdirectory (e.g. docs/dev/) for the nightly builds. For the nightly builds, I'd like to post the cron log file on the web site too, so people can see the results of markup changes they make. And I'd like to start posting a tarball of the latest sgml sources so that people can contribute to docs without having to get the entire development tree. - Thomas -- Thomas Lockhart lockhart@alumni.caltech.edu South Pasadena, California

Dunno, I always left that stuff up to Marc but I imagine I can get wget to grab it. > Also, I know we were waiting until after v7.0 to rearrange the doc > locations in the directory tree, but I'd like to consider doing that > now.

I was splitting the docs off into a user's section. I just copied them over, for now they can be found here: http://www.Postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/index.html I only have the docs there, I'll take care of the faq's and stuff later when I have slightly better connectivity. There will be alot more in that section. The index page needs to be changed and I need to put it into cvs. Now where are the 6.5 docs you mentioned above?? > For the nightly builds, I'd like to post the cron log file on the web > site too, so people can see the results of markup changes they make. > And I'd like to start posting a tarball of the latest sgml sources so > that people can contribute to docs without having to get the entire > development tree. That will be in what's soon to be called the 'developer's corner'. The map, devlp info, current docs and a buncha other stuff will be there. It's also where the current ports status will be. Lotsa changes in the not too distant future.

What I think I'd like to do is provide docs for (up to) several recent versions of Postgres; would it be possible to put move the docs stuff in the "users-lounge" down one level (to, for example, docs/v6.5/postgres/) and then softlink that set up to docs/ to get the current release docs in the most accessible place on the web page (just as is done now)? > > For the nightly builds, I'd like to post the cron log file on the web > > site too, so people can see the results of markup changes they make. > > And I'd like to start posting a tarball of the latest sgml sources so > > that people can contribute to docs without having to get the entire > > development tree. > > That will be in what's soon to be called the 'developer's corner'.

Great, then the current nightly build stuff can go there, pretty much like it does now. - Thomas -- Thomas Lockhart lockhart@alumni.caltech.edu South Pasadena, California

Ok, I created the directory .../users-lounge/6.5 put them in a directory called docs in 6.5. I already did it for 7.0. We can put patches for previous versions in there too - or rather links to them. > > > > For the nightly builds, I'd like to post the cron log file on the web > > > site too, so people can see the results of markup changes they make. > > > And I'd like to start posting a tarball of the latest sgml sources so > > > that people can contribute to docs without having to get the entire > > > development tree. > > > > That will be in what's soon to be called the 'developer's corner'.

I've moved the 6.5 stuff into there (I had already created it as a "v6.5" directory which ended up in the 7.0/docs/ directory). For 7.0, I'll be placing the "frozen" versions of docs into that directory, and hopefully the build process for the distro tarball can pick them up from there (using, say, wget to snag them). That will keep the built docs out of CVS altogether. Is that OK with everyone? - Thomas -- Thomas Lockhart lockhart@alumni.caltech.edu South Pasadena, California

Is that OK with > everyone? Works for me. BTW, Marc's taking care of the wget for the Chinese docs, I sent him the dir earlier however I'm having second thoughts as to the location since I told him to put them in .../docs/chinese which is in the developer's section.

That might be OK, since we can snapshot them over to a "release" directory when Henry says he has a newly sync'd version available. Then the developer's area will have Henry's latest-and-greatest, independent of version. - Thomas -- Thomas Lockhart lockhart@alumni.caltech.edu South Pasadena, California
