These would get us started:
devel/bison
textproc/docproj
textproc/openjade
I tried building OpenJade on that server the other day by hand and got Bus
errors when I ran it. -- So no guarantees. ;-)
Btw., this may be unrelated but I also notice that the last
postgresql-{opt,test}-snapshot.tar.gz files on the ftp mirrors are from
July 5. The others seem to be up to date.

Yep, but it takes 15 minutes to build anyway, so I figured I would check very 15 minutes and adding another 15, that makes 1/2 hour. We don't have a mechanism to build only a few html files.

But everyone committing changes to docs does, or should have, sgml tools

For a long time I didn't. I would make the edits and check them the next day. I tried to make sure I had stuff balanced and most of the changes were minor.

I think it's a bad idea to create such a policy; anything we do that
raises the bar for docs contributions will just mean that we have less
and worse documentation. Hasn't our past policy always been "submit
whatever you want, even plain text, and we'll fix the markup later"?
If you want to see the effects of such a policy, you need look no
further than Jan, who still has not committed one line of documentation
about the pgstats views because he doesn't want to be bothered with
SGML.
If Bruce wants to expend a lot of cycles on his machine to provide fast
turnaround of docs changes, that's fine with me.

Certainly! I've never said otherwise, didn't suggest a change in policy,
and have always been committed to *doing* the markup to make the former
"submit anything" happen. If the docs are broken for a while, or if we
have to work on the submitted patches before committing them, then we
should do that.
But docs don't magically happen without someone babysitting them at
least a little; I know that from experience and I know that Peter and
others have done a lot of work to make this happen too.
Right now, folks are seeing that docs are not getting built, and are
heading off in several directions. I *thought* I've been paying
attention (but have been very busy so could have missed it) and I *know*
that lots of work is being done on the web site, things are being
rearranged etc etc but for those of us who are peripherally involved
with pieces of the web site it would be *really* helpful to know what is
planned, where things are going to go, when it might happen, etc etc.
I would like to resolve the 12 hour lag for CVSup and anoncvs service,
and frankly until that is resolved we should accept that we have a 12
hour turnaround on most changes. Coincidentally, that is the rate at
which the docs are (or would be, if I could figure out where they should
go) currently built.
Let's stop trying to each build a new wheel; we have plenty enough
already. There are fundamental breakages in the current servers, and
until those are resolve I'm not happy that we are changing web site info
etc to suggest workarounds as permanent solutions.
all imho of course ;)

Bruce, what is actually happening here? If we are changing procedures
for building docs, please try to have a discussion about it first. What
are you trying to accomplish that is anything but what has already been
implemented?
If we are taking the role of "central doc build process" away from me,
istm that Peter E would be an appropriate choice for the replacement.
The fundamental problem is not that there is no docs building procedure.
It is that the docs destination area disappeared several weeks ago and
is nowhere to be seen.

What I was looking for was the place where development docs (built from
daily snapshots) would go. They used to be underneath devel-corner in a
doc(s ??) directory.
I guess I would also expect to find, somewhere, the as-released docs for
current (and previous?) versions.
I was looking the other day and didn't see any of the signs I would have
expected like html files from the docs build process.
Since I don't feel like I understand what the new layout actually is, it
would be nice to hear where I would *expect* to find these things.
"devel-corner is history", "users-lounge is history" lead me to believe
that structure is changing, but I don't know to what.
There are only a few places that I care about (the online docs area is
one of those). I'm happy to wait until new locations are available, but
a quick explanation of where that might be would give me a warm fuzzy
that I'm not falling behind and that I can predict whether the new
layout requires changes to my doc building scripts (as an example).

That sounds like a good setting for anoncvs service. But I think Thomas
(and any other committers who use cvsup) still need a cvsup server
running on the master cvs machine. Even a 1-hour lag is too much when
you are trying to commit changes.

Add the delay for "missing the bus" and you're out to a 45-minute delay. The need for on-demand is even greater, even something done crudely: If a build's in process, flag the need. When the build completes, check if it has to be done again. I assume that updates aren't so frequent that you'd be constantly rebuilding, or so infrequently a missed rebuild would causeserious problems. Perhaps a way to check if a rebuild's in process so that if it's slower than usual a developer can see it's not forgotten(or who else is doing one).

OK, new directory is /home/momjian/docs and links need to be created in /usr/local/www/www/html/docs. internalpics.pdf is the same as the one you have on the developers site but it should be a link to the copy in my home directory so I can update it regularly.

I could poll cvs more frequently but it seems rude to hit the cvs server more frequently than every 15 minutes. If people want it polled more frequently, and Marc doesn't mind, I can change the polling interval here.

I'm not vary familiar with the administration of CVS - if it has a means to run a script when something's updated, maybe you could flag the need to rebuild automatically.

It has that ability, but only on the server itself ... bruce has taken it upon himself to do this on his own machine, while the base problem is worked on, which is moving everything over to the new server ... Its had its hiccups, but considering we really haven't moved anything anywhere in >5 years now, and considering we are not in beta yet, we've done a decent job of getting problems fixed as soon as they've been reported ...
