Description Hugo Ferreira 2003-07-09 09:32:55 UTC
Version:           3.0.0a5 (using KDE 3.1.0)
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-0.13mdk

I have tried to access the documentation set as URLs. Two points:

1. I work many hours where I do not have access to the Internet. This documentation won't help me much.
2. Placing a URL in Kdevelop attracts much attention, so much so that a good site may be deactivated due to excess activity.

I prefer that the documentation be pre-downloaded. I would also like this documentation to indicate it's source so that in time I may update it myself.

TIA.

Would be nice to have a wizard for downloading the documentation... 
Comment 2 Alexander Dymo 2004-05-07 23:51:44 UTC
It is not really possible because topic files refer to various sites over the internet and that sites do not provide downloadable packages. And there is nothing we can do currently. We have no man power to fetch all that documentation and package it for download.
Instead I'd like to propose you alternate solution - the "make available offline" function for every entry in documentation tree. That seems to be possible.

shipping all the documentation offline is a wontfix and apparently loading local documentation is already possible (wasn't aware of this earlier). so this is fixed.

re-open to close properly.

why leave this bug, and not more specific Bug 98763 ?
Comment 7 Nick Shaforostoff 2008-06-29 23:20:42 UTC
ok, never mind ;)
