I see a man.tar.gz on the ftp site in the /dev/doc directory. Shouldn't
those file be added to the web site and main ftp directories?

You would think so, but I can't find them. The HTML reference pages are
there, but not the formatted manual pages.

Oh, so it is in the main tarball and not in the docs tarball?

But shouldn't it be in the doc tarball too?

You could argue for them being in the docs tarball, but not for "too",
because these tarballs must be nonoverlapping (and you need to main
tarball anyway to do anything with the others).

Oh. I thought postgresql-7.2.tar.gz had everything. I guess it has
everything except the HTML docs. I see now. Makes sense.

Glad it makes sense to someone. I, too, thought the main tarball had
everything. It should. I was under the impression that the base tarball
is the one you needed if you were only grabbing parts of the distribution.

Actually, it doesn't make sense to me. I was being polite. :-) I
thought the postgresql-7.2.tar.gz had everything, including HTML. At
least I think it should.
In fact, in looking at the postgresql-7.2.tar.gz tarball, I see:
FAQ FAQ_Solaris TODO
FAQ_AIX FAQ_german TODO.detail/
FAQ_DEV FAQ_japanese bug.template
FAQ_HPUX KNOWN_BUGS man.tar.gz <----
FAQ_IRIX MISSING_FEATURES postgres.tar.gz <----
FAQ_MSWIN Makefile src/
FAQ_QNX4 README.mb.big5
FAQ_SCO README.mb.jp
So, it has the man pages and HTML files? OK, I see now, the man pages
are in the base tarball postgresql-base-7.2.tar.gz, so they don't need
to be in the doc tarball. Now, I really do get it.

If this is the doc directory then the main tarball does have everything
and it makes sense to me now too.

Certainly, and it does.

I thought the item under discussion was which split-tarball file should
contain the prebuilt doc files. To me, putting 'em in -docs makes much
more sense than putting them in -base, for both HTML and man-page files.
So I think your complaint was legit, if poorly worded.

Yes, I did expect them to be only in doc, not in base. In fact, when I
didn't find them in /doc, I thought they weren't anywhere. I never
thought to look in base.
However, Peter's point is that they go with the binaries and are not
part of the documentation set, at least not in man pages format. In
HTML format, they are in the doc set.
