Thread: 6.5.3 -> 7.0 upgrade went smoothly, thanks
pg_dumpall then using psql to source the file went off perfectly. Just a nit, where's the manpages in 7.0? :) Thanks for the excellent database system, and best of luck with the recent step up in the business and political open source world! -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."

For those that use CVS, you have to download the doc package to get the manuals and manual pages. They are no longer part of CVS. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle 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

They are no longer part of CVS. I can understand not wanting to keep the formatted manpages and such under CVS, but why remove the manpages entirely from the repo? It makes little sense to me because it makes it more complex to submit changes. How does one submit changes to the manpages now? Is there some way to get them via cvsup/cvs? -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."

However, I think they are kept in man.tar.gz, and the docs maybe have to be installed in a separate step. Obviously, I am not sure. > How does one submit changes to the manpages now?

They are in SGML format in pgsql/doc/src/sgml. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle 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

Oh, that's cool, I'm glad whenever autogenerated stuff is removed from the tree because it certainly helps my download time especially when getting a new repo. thanks, -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
