And this CHM file describes the ODBC driver? So it naturally belongs to the Fb-ODBC 2.0.5 documentation? Then I'd put the source files - unzipped, for easier version control - in a subdir of refdocs/fbodbc205, e.g. refdocs/fbodbc205/chm or whichever name you think is best.

Ahm actually, I was asking PaulV that question...you may not be aware that we don't do CHM, but the ODBC fans seem to like them. Our DocBook system doesn't produce it but it turned out to be relatively simple to produce from the html that it does generate. I could probably produce VS help from them as well, some other time when I'm in an experimental frame of mind. Of course, both the CHM and VS help compilers are proprietary Microsoft products, so some might say it would be evil to encourage these people. ;-) So I was really just sounding out Paul as to where he thought might be a good place to put the source files for the CHM file - obviously (I thought) *where?* relative to the parent docbook source from which they evolved. A different repository does not make any sense. Tainted or not, it is still Firebird documentation.

Where should I put them? I'll write a little readme. What are these CHM files for? You could consider just adding them (unzipped) in a specific subfolder of the repository, or create a separate repository for this. The other thing is - we don't seem to have a notification channel for checkins to this repository. Can something similar be done for this one as was done for the main Firebird repo? (After a lot of messing about, we finally got main repo notifications coming into firebird-checkins a few weeks ago. I'm not sure they are perfect yet, though) I'll search (or ask) on firebird-devel what they did for this.
