[DOCS] Docs on file location?

2004-10-08 Thread Josh Berkus
Folks,

Where are the docs on the new file locations?   They're not with the other 
postgresql.conf stuff in runtime.sgml.

They are only documented in the postmaster manual page.  It clearly
needs more.

Any reason NOT to put them into runtime.sgml?   I'm working on a major 
revision of that file right now.

I committed some stuff yesterday:

http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/runtime-config.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-FILE-LOCATIONS

I'm thinking of making some changes tomorrow, but that's what we have at
the moment.

Re: [DOCS] [ADMIN] windows docs?

2004-10-08 Thread Bruce Momjian

I have moved the MinGW/Win32 project page into FAQ_MINGW in CVS.  I
updated it to be more of an FAQ than a project page, and moved the TODO
items the proper places in our official project.
