I see the 7.3 manual pages in /dev/doc. Would someone move them over into
the main 7.3 directory? Should I do it?

On the FTP site, under /dev/doc, I see:
-rw-r--r-- 1 vev wheel 146009 Nov 21 23:33 man.tar.gz
Those are the manual pages for 7.3. However, I don't see these in the
7.3 download directory. Seems they should be there.

That's interesting 'cuze I'm not generating them. I seem to recall the
decision to drop the man pages in either late vedr 6.x or early 7.0. I
didn't know they were still happening. In any case we should find out
how they're getting into /dev/doc and change that rather than just moving
a file that could end up in the same place again.

The man pages are contained in the postgresql-*.tar.gz tarball, the same
way they have been for many releases. I generate them nowadays and upload
them from time to time so that the release building process can pick them
up. There isn't a strong reason that they are made available on the ftp
site, except that it has always been that way and possibly so that people
could download them during the development cycle, in the same way they can
download the HTML version of the documentation. But there isn't any
reason why they have to be copied elsewhere because anyone who downloads
PostgreSQL already has them and using them separately is not supported.

I see the current snapshot tarball has manual pages from 7.4. When and
who will make them for 8.0?

I will, as soon as we have a solution for the problem described here:

Well, at this stange, I think we will have live with such ugliness. The
only workaround I can think of is some sed script that replaces the text
with something that tells them it is in the main documentation.

Lack of 8.0 manual pages is probably our biggest open item before 8.0
final. If no one can find a solution I will start working on a sed hack
to convert external links into some reasonable text.
