I have a question about Apple's developer documentation and how to
get the most out of it. I believe the documentation I'm talking about
is not under NDA and is available out in the open on the
developer.apple.com website, but just in case I'll be careful to
avoid any specific details.
Now, there are two types of doc downloads that are available to
developers: (1) The "Reference Library Updates" you get when you
check for updated documentation from within the Xcode Preferences
window. (2) Downloadable collections of PDFs (now it's these that I'm
not sure about whether or not they are under NDA, so I won't mention
any specific names).
My question is about this second type of documentation. How do you
install it? Where do you put it? Unlike the Reference Library
Updates, there's no installer; so do you manually merge it with your
"/Developer/ADC Reference Library/" folder? Stick it somewhere else?
Given that Apple has decided that Spotlight shouldn't index the "/
Developer/" folder, is there a system-wide location where I can put
them so that I'll actually be able to find the information in them?
(Actually, I think that behaviour has changed at some point somewhere
between 10.4 and 10.4.3 because on testing right now I see that
Spotlight *can* find stuff in "/Developer/" even though I haven't
hacked it into any inclusion/exclusion list). What do other
developers do with these docs to get the most out of them?
Cheers,
Greg
