Observations about the current intermediate state of things:
* ~ftp/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-3.0.3 is currently a file, not a directory.
* For the 3.0 branch, onlinedocs need to be generated with the
update_web_docs_old script (which uses texi2html) rather than
update_web_docs (which now uses makeinfo --html). It seemed better to
keep the old mechanism for the branch than to change mechanism part way
through (to one which does still have some bugs, being fixed by the
Texinfo maintainers) with the changes to branch manuals that would have
occasioned for them to work with makeinfo --html. (For example, you'll
see that onlinedocs/gcc-3.0/cpp/ is currently empty - that manual on the
branch doesn't work with makeinfo --html.)
* On the branch now, version.c says "3.0.4 (prerelease)" but the
prerelease version ought to have a date in it, "3.0.4 yyyymmdd
(prerelease)". This may also apply to the other [Vv]ersion.c files.
