This sounds like an interesting suggestion. It might be a bit tricky
due to different versions of GCC having different sets of manuals, and
I believe we currently do not have any scripting language (PHP,...) set
up on gcc.gnu.org, but perhaps a Perl/Shell script from cron.
Joseph, you have been the one doing most work on the online manuals (and
a great job, by the way). Do you have any ideas?

There are indeed the issues that (a) when a new minor release is added the
links to the manuals for the previous minor release should be removed, but
not the manuals themselves and not for new major releases; (b) only the
user manuals, not the internals manuals, are linked to for releases; (c)
sometimes the set of manuals changes even within one major release series,
e.g. the Ada user manual names changed in the 3.4 series. The simplest
suggestion would be a script or scripts to do some of the releasing steps
that presently are manual, including updating webpages based on
pre-existing markers in those pages of where to update. The search page
gets automatic monthly updates from a program run from htdigid's crontab
(not gccadmin's), which might be something to look at to start with, and a
list of which the user manuals are can easily enough be stored and kept
updated somewhere for each active release branch.

For reference, here it is, fresh from a "crontab -e". It's the
last entry. See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html#system> for the
CVS repos (except for the crontab below which isn't in CVS).
