<DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let’s splice this comment off from Tomas:</DIV>
<DIV>> BTW, I have to insist that IMHO all the install-related
documentation</DIV>
<DIV>> should refer to the stable branches and avoid confusing the
users.</DIV>
<DIV>> So, until we make a decision on this we should not make
references</DIV>
<DIV>> to things we do for the current master.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have packages, tarball, git, and wiki.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think INSTALL.{OS} should refer to the branch/tgz for which it is
in.</DIV>
<DIV>If you download a 3.12.x tarball, you aren’t expecting to get 3.14.x or
master instructions. You are expecting 3.12.x instructions.</DIV>
<DIV>If you branch to v3.10.x in git, you aren’t expecting to get master
instructions either, but rather 3.10.x instructions.</DIV>
<DIV>If you do a package installation, you probably are looking at the wiki, and
are likely expecting instructions matching the current stable version.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This, by the way, led me to try to find installation instructions for
packages:</DIV>
<DIV> cd /usr/share/docs/koha-common/</DIV>
<DIV> zcat ... | less</DIV>
<DIV>Where ... is one of the release notes points to:</DIV>
<DIV><A title=http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_Documentation
href="http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_Documentation">http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_Documentation</A></DIV>
<DIV>This was a little on the ugly side. I cleaned it up a bit.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It also points to the INSTALL.{OS} file in the tarball.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyways, I think that covers all the cases. Comments?</DIV>
