The documentation for different releases of GCC in the same branch
vary only slightly. For that reason, I think it would be nice to be
able to have a URL for the doc of a given branch, meaning the doc
of the last released version of this branch. For example, that would
be achieved by creating a symlink
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.2 -
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.2.1
Would that be considered useful? And if yes, how to implement it?
Technically we could do so by manually adding symlinks on gcc.gnu.org
(which Mark or me could do, for example) or redirects via htdocs/.htaccess.
How useful this would be, I do not have a strong opinion about; I guess
I'm mostly not sure whether it's worth any complications. It's probably
a matter of how (strongly) our users feel about it.
