* i'm assuming that we don't want to modify lib/gendocs_template
since it's synced with upstream gnulib
For sure.
so the default manual/ landing page & manual will be unchanged from today
other than having a link to the full versioned index
What url/filename are you thinking for the "full versioned index"?
<li><a href="1.16">GNU Automake 1.16</a></li>
... vs. ...
<td>Feb 2018</td>
<td><a href="1.16">GNU Automake 1.16</a></td>
<td><a href="1.16/automake.html">HTML</a></td>
<td><a href="1.16/automake.pdf">PDF</a></td>
I doubt the old manuals will get a tremendous amount of use, so one line
per version seems sufficient to me, vs. a table. But I have no objection
either way.
OTOH, the date and the direct link to the html seem like the most
interesting information (more so than the PDF). Could be something like:
<li><a href="1.16/">GNU Automake 1.16</a>
- Feb 2018
- <a href="1.16/automake.html">HTML</a>
</li>
But I don't feel strongly about it. Whatever seems sensible. It might
take seeing the page with a few versions actually done before it's clear
what's best. --thanks, karl.
