From 2895415205d86cc7ab55acab5f90fd70a7c68f3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 20:48:04 -0500 Subject: Don't generate plain-text HISTORY and src/test/regress/README anymore. Providing this information as plain text was doubtless worth the trouble ten years ago, but it seems likely that hardly anyone reads it in this format anymore. And the effort required to maintain these files (in the form of extra-complex markup rules in the relevant parts of the SGML documentation) is significant. So, let's stop doing that and rely solely on the other documentation formats. Per discussion, the plain-text INSTALL instructions might still be worth their keep, so we continue to generate that file. Rather than remove HISTORY and src/test/regress/README from distribution tarballs entirely, replace them with simple stub files that tell the reader where to find the relevant documentation. This is mainly to avoid possibly breaking packaging recipes that expect these files to exist. Back-patch to all supported branches, because simplifying the markup requirements for release notes won't help much unless we do it in all branches. --- src/test/regress/README | 3 +++ src/tools/RELEASE_CHANGES | 1 - 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 src/test/regress/README (limited to 'src') diff --git a/src/test/regress/README b/src/test/regress/README new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0cbf3b64b2 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/test/regress/README @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +Documentation concerning how to run these regression tests and interpret +the results can be found in the PostgreSQL manual, in the chapter +"Regression Tests". diff --git a/src/tools/RELEASE_CHANGES b/src/tools/RELEASE_CHANGES index 321f37cd37..79a3e19ba5 100644 --- a/src/tools/RELEASE_CHANGES +++ b/src/tools/RELEASE_CHANGES @@ -10,7 +10,6 @@ For All Releases (major, minor, beta, RC) o update doc/src/sgml/release.sgml o run spellchecker on result o add SGML markup - o check if 'gmake HISTORY.html' works for s * Update timezone data to match latest zic database and new Windows releases, if any (see src/timezone/README) -- cgit v1.2.3
