Thread: Re: [HACKERS] CVS changes
Can someone help me get the 1/2 hours SGML build link on to the
developer's page. I can't find where that is located. I modified
index.html in the developers corner on www.ca.postgresql.org but it is
not showing:

Sure. I think that the consensus was that a docs snapshot *should* be
available at the beginning of beta, and there are other issues which
seem to be showstoppers. All of which will be resolved soon I'm sure.
afaik we would like to be in beta RSN, but I have a few more catalog
changes to make so if everything else were in place we would still want
to wait a day or two.
Lots that would be uncovered in beta is being addressed now, and I sense
an increase in the number of things being fixed and improved (a common
sign that people are stepping up their efforts to support the release)
so there is no need for a quick fix on any one thing.

Not sure about that. I started to refresh the doc build procedure but
stopped when I couldn't figure out where the docs would go afterwards. I
*think* I now know where that would be, but we are not to the point
where I can actually write files there. And if developer.postgresql.org
doesn't share disks with my home directory and the cvs repository, I'm
looking at having to do a few more tweaks to move these things around
from whatever the best "build machine" would be.
btw, in the machine info I've had before today,
"developer.postgresql.org" didn't show up. So I'll still claim to be
confused over what machines, aliases, and virtual machines are coming
online, how they relate to each other, what disks they will see, etc
etc. To quote an old advertisement down here, "inquiring minds want to
know...". ;)

I'm not sure whether you're referring to me or Lockhart, but if the
former: I don't say that we must have a working automatic build
process (though it's surely a high priority). What I do say is that
we must have a reasonably up-to-date version of the development docs
posted at the canonical place for same. Else, beta testers will not
know what to test, and so the whole notion of a beta test period is
rendered meaningless.
If the docs situation were the only thing holding up beta, I'd say
do a manual build and install and get on with it. But it seems we
have some other problems too, so Marc and Vince have some breathing
room to finish fixing the server configuration issues...

Vince and gang are working on making it into even more of a portal site then what it is now, with links to articles about PgSQL, news about it, etc ... work in progress ... The 'physical sites' for PgSQL are moving to: http://www.<cc>.postgresql.org ftp://ftp.<cc>.postgresql.org On the main server, where everything is pulled from, http://www.ca.postgresql.org points to /usr/local/www/www/html ... http://www.postgresql.org itself is on a different machine, as it doesn't contain any "real" information, its all going to be dynamically generated out of the database ... http://archives.<cc>.postgresql.org is the mailing list archives which is mhonarc based, and uses UDMSearch to search through them ... again, everything in there is automagically generated, but is pulled from the main server ... http://fts.postgresql.org is still the OpenFTS search of the archives, so there are two ways of searching the archives ... http://gborg.postgresql.org, still being worked on, is in its own 'virtual machine', since I didn't want to worry about overlaps with CVS ... then there is techdocs and developer ... archives was split from the main site, mainly to reduce teh size of teh mirror, to make it optional instead of required ... www.<cc> is going to be, as far as I understand it, the 'released stuff', while developer.<cc> is going to be stuff like the TODO lists and views into the CVS repository and whatnot ... Alot of it is still a work in progress, and once we get the portal done, we should have better 'directions' to give to ppl as to where they want to go, but the 'central site' has just gotten too un-manageable from an admin, as well as mirror, point of view ... Anything that anyone is going to need to modify will always be on the central server, which, once we get the new mirror stuff in place, will be just plain 'postgresql.org', but for now is 'cvs.postgresql.org' ... ftp directories are under ~ftp and web directories are all off of /usr/local/www ... those will not change ... does that help any, in the short term?

Vince, can you update:

to use the right CVS locations or give me permission to modify it.

Docs build fine. There just wasn't a place to put them until a few days
ago, plus I didn't want to put them there because I'm not the one in
charge of this. AFAICT, Thomas Lockhart should be able to use his old
scripted setup with a path change or three as already discussed.
Thomas, you will probably want to get some newer DSSSL stylesheets rather
than the ones installed under /usr/local/...; you can find tarballs for a
recent release or two at or near ~petere/PGDOC/{share|src} (forget where).
Use DOCBOOKSTYLE = <path> in Makefile.custom, or in the environment before
configure, as usual.
