Eh? Whatever gave you that idea? :-)

1) Unpack the docs someplace.
2) Build the incredibly nasty code hack at
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgweb/cvs/cvs.php/portal/tools/docs
3) DELETE FROM docs WHERE version = major.minor; -- on 186_www @
borg.postgresql.org
4) ./archive <Major.Minor version> <DB Server IP (Not hostname)> <DB
Name> <DB User>

Everything will then regenerate with the new version of the docs.
