Bug #53445 [Opn->Ana]: INSTALL file sections out of date

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53445&edit=1 ID: 53445 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported by: aharvey@php.net Summary: INSTALL file sections out of date -Status: Open +Status: Analyzed Type: Bug Package: Documentation problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: trunk-SVN-2010-12-02 (SVN) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Also, we need to investigate the PHP Manual Install section to INSTALL (and install.txt) conversion system because it doesn't work very well. In other words, INSTALL and install.txt are generated from the PHP Manual itself then committed to php-src SVN... but this hasn't been done in about three years. And people have made changes to INSTALL that were not folded into the PHP Manual itself. So, this bug report deals with this entire issue. Thoughts? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-12-02 04:30:09] aharvey@php.net Description: ------------ Some sections of the INSTALL file still refer to installing PHP 4: the OpenBSD installation notes, for example, refer specifically to PHP 4.3.8! We'll either need to have developers or documenters familiar with the relevant OSes rework those sections, or alternatively point people towards the manual and integrate anything that's in INSTALL that isn't covered in the manual's installation section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53445&edit=1
