Patrick,

Thank you for the information.
Especially for the comparison matrix.
I see now that I'm OK with the online documentation.

Martin.

There are no patches for building the demo vad package between the  
development tree and the 6.1.2 snapshot.

All packages are loaded into a clean database as part of the 'make  
check' command in the demo directory. This is done prior to every  
source release.

We are performing some checks to see if we can determine what could  
have failed building this vad  using the debian build method. We will  
let you know as soon as we find any issue and will make sure this is  
fixed in the next release of VOS.

That is because the build process to produce the pdf document is a bit  
peculiar and i think needs some tools not available on every platform.  
We are trying to see if we can fix this for some upcoming release.

This document can always be downloaded from:

    http://docs.openlinksw.com/pdf/virtdocs.pdf
        

For the full documentation you can always go to:

    http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso

this site always has the most up-to-date documentation and will  
certainly be newer than the snapshot.

There are some chapters missing from the documentation that have to do  
with functionality that is only available in the commercial version of  
the documentation. The documentation on docs.openlinksw.com are the  
full set of docs, including chapters on Clusters, Geo Index, Virtual  
Database and Replication.

For list of differences between Commercial and Open Source edition,  
please also read:

Please use the online docs for now.

The upcoming release 6.1.3 will include a new snapshot of the  
documentation.

They are in sync with what was available in source form at the time  
the snapshot was produced.
