Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6023:
--------------------------------------
Although the links to the alpha Japanese manuals are garbled, if you click
through, the manuals themselves look good to me. The Japanese and Portuguese
manuals bundled with the 10.9.1.0 release also look fine to me.
Note that on our website, I can't find the link Knut mentions. The garbled docs
are present on the website but I don't know how you would navigate to them
unless you knew the internal structure of the website. Also note that in the
future, the unreachable Japanese/Portuguese docs won't even be included on the
website with the other docs for a release. This is as a result of the work done
by patch derby-4855-07-aa-repackageDocsToSvnpubsub.diff. I made that change for
the following reasons:
1) We didn't have links to the Japanese/Portuguese release docs from
http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/index.html
2) The Japanese/Portuguese variants are a dead effort. They don't change per
release and I didn't see any reason to publish redundant copies of these stale
documents.
The question must be asked: given the staleness of these docs, why are we still
publishing alpha versions? And why are we including the stale docs in our
release distros? I would support removing these abandoned docs altogether. They
can remain in the docs svn repository in case someone wants to revive them, but
I think they are pretty out-of-date at this point. Most likely, they are
telling users some real whoppers.
Thanks,
-Rick
