Description:
Most of the documentation is missing (again) from the source distribution for 4.1.12.
Only the .info file is present, no html.

How to repeat:
Download from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html
Unpack
Look in Docs/

Suggested fix:
Include documentation in source distribution

Verified with file mysql-4.1.12.tar.gz.

We removed the single-file HTML and TXT manual from the distributions to trim down the size and remove redundancy. It was not very useful in it's current form and it's seperately available in various formats from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/index.html instead. We plan to supply the manual in additional packaging/document formats as seperate downloads from the web site instead.
