The major changes deal with the changed CVSROOT. There are other changes --
a diff -uNr between postgresql-7.0/doc/src and postgresql-7.0.1/doc/src is 100K
or so, with the majority of it being $Header differences.

I will wait to package 7.0.1 RPMs until a direction is set by Steering on this
issue, or a week passes. If a week passes without a set direction, I'm going
to package 7.0.1 RPMs with the 7.0 PostScript docs, unless I get my own
jade/DocBook system up and running building the docs here first. (RedHat 6.2
ships with a jade/DocBook SGML toolset -- I just have to learn how to use it in
this context.)

Your call.
