I hate to say it, but I'm a bit disappointed of the nature of that

keeping my docs in sync with the online ones.
rsync anyone?

Without speaking officially on behalf of the Tech Pubs delivery team: (a) Developer feedback indicated that a monolithic download would be acceptable. (b) I think you underestimate the complexity of the task. There are 50-60,000 files in the documentation suite. There's simply no sensible way to do incremental updates of that granularity for the entire developer community -- especially if you want to maintain indexes.

On the other hand, he overestimated the difficulty of installing the update.
Double-click the downloaded disk image, double-click the installer package,
then sit back and relax.

I had Xcode doc window open when I installed the documentation update and it came up with a little sheet saying the the documentation layout had changed, I clicked Ok and it updated itself nicely without having to exit Xcode.


So far I am happy.
