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.

We would first need someone to volunteer to make them.

It's about 1100 pages.  Good luck stapling that together. :-)

What is the gmake command to generate PDF docs? I can give it a try but
I don't see the rule in the makefile.

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

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.

If it can wait 'til next week, I can take a look at it, as I'm fairly
familiar with the tools.  Sadly, a week today's the earliest I can
conceivably touch it.

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.

The Debian maintainer is looking.

Bruce said he managed to build it by building postgres.html first, but
that didn't work for me.

It built much farther, but failed with unreferenced sections errors.

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.

Agreed.  I think I have the toolset working, but the build is failing
and I can't figure out why.
