According to Stefan Kaltenbrunner, who took the time to delve into developer.pg.org guts, the script used to generate the snapshots looks like this /usr/bin/cvs -q export -rREL8_3_STABLE pgsql cd pgsql ./configure cd doc/src gmake postgres.tar.gz mv postgres.tar.gz .. gmake postgres.tar.gz mv postgres.tar.gz .. gmake man.tar.gz mv man.tar.gz .. cd sgml gmake HISTORY INSTALL mv -f HISTORY INSTALL ../../.. cd ../../.. gmake VERSION=snapshot dist gmake maintainer-clean -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
