A major issue is that we don't regenerate docs for 7.1.1 or later, so the 7.1 docs carry for all the 7.1.X releases. That would seem to argue for a separate tarball for docs so people don't redownload the docs again for 7.1.1. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
