[This is similar to this v12 question.] AFAIK, for SA 10 and 11 installing an EBF has always copied that EBF's readme file to the SA main directory. So a SA 11.0.1 install might contain the following files in the %SQLANY11% dir:
But current 11.0.1 EBFs don't leave their local EBF file in the SA main directory, either. Usually, I do not apply all EBFs but skip some of them. The last of those EBFs I have installed (on Windows 32 Bit) that left a readme was 11.0.1. The following newer EBFs seem to copy their readme just to a temporary folder:
Is this change in behaviour by design, or should it be re-changed, like Karim has clarified for v12? EDITED: I was wrong: 11.0.1.2427 does leave a local EBF. But on two boxes I can confirm the behaviour (in contrast to Karim's expectation) that no generic readme_ebf.html file has been installed by the aefore-mentioned newer EBFs. Resume: IMHO, the senseful solution chosen for v12 is not yet implemented for v11.0.1. |
