Description Luis Menina 2013-03-05 12:43:04 UTC 
With the cleanup of deprecated stuff, the install guide is a mess. In fact, it already is, being a bit-distro specific (Fedora). It also extensively makes use of libglade in examples, which is going to be replaced by GtkBuilder. 

The install guide source file is:
docs/install-guide/C/planner-install-guide.xml

The compiles result, needing update too is: http://live.gnome.org/Planner%20Installation%20Guide
Comment 1 Luis Menina 2013-03-05 12:46:16 UTC 
Dependency version should also be centralized as much as possible. Currently, we have them in configure.ac, in README, and in the installation guide, leading to mismatches.
Comment 2 Alexandre Franke 2013-03-05 12:57:21 UTC 
Can we somehow have the docs auto-updated from the configure.ac?
Comment 3 Luis Menina 2013-03-05 13:50:57 UTC 
Yeah, should be doable for the install guide, so only the README would require manual update.
Comment 4 Alexandre Franke 2013-03-05 14:20:12 UTC 
The README also needs manual update on each new release for the installation instructions anyway, so this is something we could live with I'd say. :)

2012, I installed a Fedora Code 17. I made the SQL stuff work.
The user guide chapter 'Configuring a Planner database' was reality.

I updated the git guide (not the wiki one). Is anyone interested?

I cannot produce a simple patch. A lot changed since 2004. The file
is 28 KB sized and the patch 56 KB. I have no long-lived URL at hand.
Privately, I can send the file or communicate a transient URL.

At that time, I realized that the real installation guide is the
INSTALL file we already have.

  `./configure && make && make install'

It is a standard INSTALL file. It should be ours. The others should
be thrown. They do not worth maintaining.
