Thread: URL for current docs
I can't find a way to reference the current docs without using a version number in the URL. Can I add a /current symlink in there? -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026

I didn't understand the final solution. So I remove the users-lounge
part, and the release number, and get:
http://postgresql.org/docs/admin/kernel-resources.html
Thanks. Works fine.

Funny, didn't we just go thru this a few months ago? /docs/admin -> 7.1/admin /docs/postgres -> 7.1/postgres /docs/programmer -> 7.1/programmer /docs/tutorial -> 7.1/tutorial /docs/user -> 7.1/user If you had something pointing to one of those dirs before, they were automatically pointed to the 7.0 versions. When 7.1 was released I updated the links to point to the 7.1 docs. So if the filenames were the same the only difference would be the content. The .htm -> .html rename may bite you tho, I think they were still .htm in 7.0.

How about just http://www.postgresql.org/docs/kernel-resources.html There's no reason to put the admin guide separately on the web, since it's already contained in the integrated docs. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://funkturm.homeip.net/~peter

Because /docs is a directory that I don't want docs in. Yeah, I know, that doesn't make sense, but it does. The main idea in getting rid of docs in /docs was to put as much real estate (so to speak) between the devel and release docs as possible. People were confusing the two and thinking that if it's in the devel docs it was in the release version. If Bruce has something pointing to docs/admin/kernel-resources and Marc has something pointing to docs/admin/foo and you have something pointed to docs/admin/bar, after the next release I don't have to create a new symlink to each item, just update the main symlinks. As to everything going into the integrated docs, docs/postgres is there and you're welcome to use it but I'm not getting into the discussion of what docsets should or should not be available. The main index in the interactive docs tho is the integrated index.
