The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/install-requirements.html
Description:
On the page
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/install-requirements.html
the line
"GNU Flex and Bison are needed to build from a Git checkout..."
should be changed to
"Flex and Bison are needed to build from a Git checkout..."
The reason is because Flex is not a GNU package; it is BSD-licensed and
copyrighted by the University of California. Bison does not need to be
explicitly identified as GNU Bison, because there is only one Bison and it
is widely known as the GNU implementation of yacc.
