Thread: pdf/ps docs for 7.4?
Are there going to be postscript or pdf versions of the 7.4 documentation available for download? I would like to make a paper copy of the new manual and I have not been able to build a postscript version of the document from source.

It's about 1100 pages. Good luck stapling that together. :-) -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net

cd doc/src/sgml
make postgres.pdf
but openjade falls over:
openjade -D . -c
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/dsssl/modular/catalog -d \
stylesheet.dsl -t tex -V tex-backend -i output-print -V \
texpdf-output -o postgres.tex-pdf postgres.sgml

onlydisplay flow objects accepted
make: *** [postgres.tex-pdf] Segmentation fault
make: *** Deleting file `postgres.tex-pdf'
I've asked Debian's openjade maintainer for assistance, so I'll let you
know if I get any.

I found I could build them if I do a make html first, then a make
postgres.pdf.
Once run, I am seeing these failures:

Good luck stapling that together. :-) I was planning on using a three hole binder and printing on both sides of the paper. I did print out a copy of the documentation in the past (7.1 I think) and it wasn't too bad. There was some redundancy in the documents when there were separate manuals instead of one big manual, so I am thinking the current manual should take less paper to print.

If it can wait 'til next week, I can take a look at it, as I'm fairly familiar with the tools.

It built much farther, but failed with unreferenced sections errors. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
Can we add some kind of regression test, or at least a note in the release process somewhere, to ensure that *someone* can build html/pdf copies of the docs. I'm not even too concerned if it requires a narrow toolset, but it's something we ought to have ready for 7.5 when it goes out the door.

I think I have the toolset working, but the build is failing and I can't figure out why. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
