Re: cvs: phpdoc /en/appendices phpdevel.xml

Hi all,

Well, I think it still can be stored under phpdoc-LANG/phpdevel, but it needs a separate root XML file. This may add some new bits to the configure script, but IMHO we should not duplicate the configure system [one of the phpdoc meeting ideas was to open a completely new repository for phpdoc-build, and let all the manuals use it - it would be a hard work to do ;)]. So to look a bit closer, IMHO it would be nice to have the phpdevel stuff in the phpdoc-LANG repositories, thus allowing translation, and using the same build system (as the howto does). Goba

Well, that shouldn't be a big problem (beside the time, I've got a new project, but should be able to do it within a reasonable time - not the completely new repostitory for everything, of course :). Thanks for the license-links (shame on me lazy something ;), which I haven't read too deeply, but: Philip and Derick outlined, that the ZendAPI-description is outdated and would need a rewrite, but the license says: "A. Distribution of substantively modified versions of this document is prohibited without the explicit permission of the copyright holder. "Substantive modification" is defined as a change to the content of the document, and excludes mere changes in format or typographical corrections." From the experience of the planned phpdoc-license-change, it would take a long time to get the explicit permission, but would be a way, as well as starting a completely new one, where an extra-license wouldn't need to be considered also in the future. So I'd suggest to move only the compiling- and extending php3 - part physically to phpdoc/phpdevel (just move the html-result into the new doc), till we know more (or have a permission/substitute). Cu, Thomas
