The only reason there is a significant delay is that the administrators
have chosen not to run the process more than once every 4 hours. That's
a choice not dictated by the process they are using, but by other
considerations concerning the machine it's being run on. Since I am not
one of the admins and don't really want to take responsibility for it I
am not going to second guess them. On the very rare occasions when I
absolutely have to have the totally up to date docs I build them myself
- it takes about 60 seconds on my modest hardware.
I think the argument for having a quick docs build service is not about
the time needed, but the need to have all the appropriate tools
installed. While I can understand that argument for J Random Hacker,
I'm mystified why Bruce doesn't seem to have bothered to get a working
SGML toolset installed. It's not like editing the docs is a one-shot
task for him.
As far as I understand, Bruce's concern is not about seeing the docs
built himself, but having an HTML copy published somewhere that he can
point people to, after applying some patch. To me, that's a perfectly
legitimate reason to want to have them quickly.
Correct. I have always had a working SGML toolset. If we are not going
to have the developer site run more often, I will just go back to
setting up my own public doc build, like I used to do. I removed mine
when the official one was more current/reliable --- if that has changed,
I will return to my old setup, and publish my own URL for users to
verify doc changes.
How often do you want? After all,
<http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/index.html> is presumably
going to keep pointing to where it now points.
