A question about phpweb and cvs/rsync: I'd (still :) like to find the best way to make the annotated manual work on mirrors. The way it works now is okay, but a bit of a hassle to setup and keep up to date. It would seem best if we could have a script on www.php.net update some datafiles, and have those files put into the rsync/cvs repository, for mirrors to fetch as part of their normal update cycle. I was thinking of /manual/usernotes/TOPIC.txt, where TOPIC is the subject in question. The contents of those files would just be a serialize array, exactly as would be returned by the DB. My local setup actually does that, but loading those files requires a semi-backdoor into www.php.net, which I'm a bit uncomfortable about. I know, installing a DB on the mirror and loading it with a dump of the master is another option, but rsync'd files is just *simpler*. Thanks, Simon
