2010-09-25Fix man page markup for <cmdsynopsis> with multiple variantsPeter Eisentraut
Command synopses using <cmdsynopsis> with multiple variants previously used <sbr> to break lines between variants. The new man page toolchain introduced in 9.0 makes a mess out of that, and that markup was probably wrong all along, because <sbr> is supposed to break lines within a synopsis, not between them. So fix that by using multiple <cmdsynopsis> elements inside <refsynopsisdiv>. backpatched to 9.0
2010-09-22Do some copy-editing on the Git usage docs.Tom Lane

These are just cosmetic and don't seem worth back-patching far. I put them into 9.0 just because it was trivial to do so.

2010-09-09Remove obsolete claim that gzip is needed while installing PG's documentation.Tom Lane
It isn't, now that we ship the docs as loose files rather than a sub-tarball. Also adjust the wording in a couple of places to make the lists of required software read more consistently.

2010-08-26Document the existence of the socket lock file under unix_socket_directory,Tom Lane
which is perhaps not a terribly good spot for it but there doesn't seem to be a better place. Also add a source-code comment pointing out a couple reasons for having a separate lock file. Per suggestion from Greg Smith.

2010-08-23Make an editorial pass over the 9.0 release notes.Tom Lane

We already mentioned xid wraparound.
2010-08-19Bring some sanity to the trace_recovery_messages code and docs.Tom Lane
Per gripe from Fujii Masao, though this is not exactly his proposed patch. Categorize as DEVELOPER_OPTIONS and set context PGC_SIGHUP, as per Fujii, but set the default to LOG because higher values aren't really sensible (see the code for trace_recovery()). Fix the documentation to agree with the code and to try to explain what the variable actually does. Get rid of no-op calls trace_recovery(LOG), which accomplish nothing except to demonstrate that this option confuses even its author.
