developer's faq

From

Is the developer's faq still a valid document?  After last nite's website
changes I've been tracking down missing items and this one pops up.  The
only place I see it tho is in the cvs Attic.  Isn't the attic where the
junk goes that noone wants anymore?  Is that where the faq belongs?

It is in the main cvs and copied into the web directory.  It is not in
the web cvs.

Where?   This is the only place I see it.

$ locate faq-dev-english
/cvsroot/www/html/docs/Attic/faq-dev-english.html,v
/cvsroot/www/html/docs/Attic/faq-dev-english.shtml,v
$

I'm already getting a few things out of cvs now (TODO and flowchard are
a couple) for the developer site.  WebCVS will be there whenever SOMEONE
gets around to some configuration changes I requested.

The pgsql CVS, not the www CVS:
 $ ls pgsql/doc/src/FAQ CVS/                    FAQ_DEV.html            FAQ_japanese.html FAQ.html
FAQ_german.html

I copy them to the web directory like the platform-specific FAQ's.

TODO should not be in the www CVS either.  That is generated by txt2html
and I copy that to www too.

See copyfaq script for copy renames.  I have one i my home directory
that I use to copy from my local CVS while you have one too.

Not sure about TODO.  I don't see it in my www CVS copy here.  It is a
funny file because it is generated from the text TODO file in the pgsql
cvs.   I can put the script I use with txt2html to generate it.

So you renamed it to faq-dev-english...  Ok.  I can get that out.

I'm trying to get everything as automated as possible without having to
depend on any one person which is why I'm going into cvs to get it.  If
it doesn't belong in cvs, then why is it still there?  More importantly
if it's not going to be there, where will it be?  Should we put it in
the database?

I'm trying to avoid renaming.  Since the sites are going php I have more
(better) options.

It's not in www cvs.   It's in pgsql cvs.  That's where I'm getting it.
I'm trying to have php use cvs to update the copy I'm about to serve up
but it's complaining so I have to look and see how I did it before.

Attached is the script I use and a supporting file. You will need
txt2html installed.
