Include Help Package in Release

1 Initial Problem

Help package need to be known of and downloaded. 

2 Conceptual Summary

If there is a Help Package for a specific ILIAS Release it should be included into the release package. The hep package will be prepare later in the release cycle, thus it cannot be included befor x.x.6 or later. 
The entire zip Help package should be manually uploaded to the git as a binary file.

7 Discussion

Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], 27 MAY 2019 : I do not understand this request. What is the benefit of having the help package as a zip file within my ILIAS software package? At the time being, the zip file needs to be uploaded from one's own hard disk to ILIAS. There is currently no procedure to upload it from a server's local directory (or from getting it straight from GitHub or somewhere else). Such a new procedure is not suggested in this request either. I fully agree with the idea to make it easier for users getting the help running on their installation. But the request in the current version won't be a step towards this goal.

Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], 28 MAY 2019 : Thanks for the additional information about the button to load (or better "Install"?) the online help package. This makes much more sense.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 03 JUN 2019 : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule it for 6.0. We prefer not to add the help package to Git but to offer them on the ILIAS server. A final solution should be presented in the Implementation chapter below.

8 Implementation

{The maintainer has to give a description of the final implementation and add screenshots if possible.}
