There nothing stopping you from submitting improved wording for the FAQ
if you think it would be helpful.

Re: [HACKERS] Make clean fails
A more ambitious project, and one which seems to me worthwhile, would be a descriptive tour of the source code and data structures. Something larger than an FAQ and (one hopes) smaller than a book. The existence of such things is useful in bootstrapping newbies (like me) in Linux kernel stuff, and with it I would feel more confident about dipping my toes in on Pg as well. And, no, I can't write it because I am one who would need it in the first place. I guess those who could write it have plenty on their plates. Keeping it up to date would be a pain too. But still, it would be nice. andrew Robert Treat wrote: On Mon, 2003-07-28 at 02:47, Philip Yarra wrote: On Mon, 28 Jul 2003 04:27 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just part of the baptism of fire for a newbie, I guess. :-) I've found the learning curve pretty steep too.

Re: [HACKERS] Make clean fails
Yes, I agree they are very useful, although not quite as detailed as what I had in mind. andrew Tom Lane wrote: Andrew Dunstan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A more ambitious project, and one which seems to me worthwhile, would be a descriptive tour of the source code and data structures.

Re: [HACKERS] Make clean fails
Yep, that solved both the make clean and the coredump problems. Is that piece of information in the developers FAQ anywhere? It's in the how to use CVS instructions ... So it is. I probably read that before I got CVS working here, and it isn't mentioned (or that section of the docs referenced) in the CVS section in the Developer's FAQ. I found both sections insufficient for me to get CVS working here, and since I am thinking about using it for another project I picked up a copy of 'ESSENTIAL CVS' to fill in some of the gaps in my knowledge.
