1. A minor bug, the hyperlink for "sqlite:" pointed to
mysql_table.5.html:

2. SQLITE_README does not mention version 2.8 availability.
sqlite_table(5) does. I think the README should, too.

3. sqlite_table(5) mentions the deprecated query syntax. I guess
that's loaded from shared code with older SQL map types? Seems to me
that there's no need to support that in sqlite_table, unless of
course it's more work to NOT support it.

4. This has happened to me before, and I think I even brought it up
here: "make upgrade" goes through my $html_directory, but I don't get
the new goodies I was after.

This time I noticed on two systems that I did not get the sqlite
documents upon upgrade from earlier (February 13) snapshots. On
further inspection I saw that index.html was not updated, and
SOHO_README.html was also missing.

Disclosure: one of these was make upgrade'ed lots of times since
2.5.1 in '08. (The other was originally a 2.7 snapshot.)

Also: it seems that SQLITE_README made it to $readme_directory, and
man5/sqlite_table.5 is there, but SOHO_README is not.

Do I need to use something like rsync in addition to make upgrade?

There was a cut-and-paste error in the postlink script that replaces
string by hyperlinked words, so there were more instances of this.

Maybe when it is time for the stable release. It was painful enough
to modify all the claims that postscreen is part of Postfix 2.7.

The idea is to make things easier for everyone by keeping instructions
identical.

Here, "make upgrade" installs mysql_table.5, mysql_table.5.html
and SQLITE_README.html. I don't install ASCII README files but
they are configured similarly (in the postfix-files file) so I
expect similar results.

The SOHO_README files were never installed. Perhaps this is because
they contain duplicate information from other files. Note that
SOHO_README is also not referenced by index.html.

> Do I need to use something like rsync in addition to make upgrade?

No. Postfix build/install attempts to minimize dependencies on
other tools.

Actually it is referenced, so that is a dangling link. It's fixed now.
