Greetings,

 

Let’s splice this comment off from Tomas:

We have packages, tarball, git, and wiki.

 

I think INSTALL.{OS} should refer to the branch/tgz for which it is in.

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.

If you branch to v3.10.x in git, you aren’t expecting to get master instructions either, but rather 3.10.x instructions.

If you do a package installation, you probably are looking at the wiki, and are likely expecting instructions matching the current stable version.

 

This, by the way, led me to try to find installation instructions for packages:

    cd /usr/share/docs/koha-common/

    zcat ... | less

Where ... is one of the release notes points to:

This was a little on the ugly side. I cleaned it up a bit.

 

It also points to the INSTALL.{OS} file in the tarball.

 

Anyways, I think that covers all the cases. Comments?
