Uhm, I had forgotten that, and also the fact that at the moment what one gets at
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/manual/ (or using the built-in facility in
the program) is always the latest snapshot of the manual, which could be ahead
of the current release, or even not up to date (in the case of translations), or
containing FIXMEs etc.
Maybe a better solution would be to set up things (in the website and in the
GUI) so that for each release of gretl one would get the corresponding release
of the manual:
- for the website this would imply having:
- a "released" version of the manual, one for each release, ideally featured
in the "Download" section of the website
- a "snapshot" version (i.e. the current one), ideally featured in the
"snapshot" and "CVS" sections of the website
(this is easy to set up, I could draft a patch)
- for the GUI we should have a way to detect if the user is running a
"released"
version or a CVS/homemade/snapshot one, and point to the right URL to download
the relevant manual
(do you think this is feasible?)
