+ <filename>postgresql-snapshot.tar.bz2</filename> and resides in
+ <ulink url="https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/snapshot/dev/"></ulink;;
+ but using the version control repository, below, is recommended.)
+ After you have obtained the file, unpack it:
<screen>
-<userinput>gunzip postgresql-&version;.tar.gz</userinput>
-<userinput>tar xf postgresql-&version;.tar</userinput>
+<userinput>tar xfa postgresql-&version;.tar.gz</userinput>
</screen>
- (Use <command>bunzip2</command> instead of <command>gunzip</command> if
- you have the <filename>.bz2</filename> file. Also, note that most
- modern versions of <command>tar</command> can unpack compressed archives
- directly, so you don't really need the
- separate <command>gunzip</command> or <command>bunzip2</command> step.)
This will create a directory
<filename>postgresql-&version;</filename> under the current directory
with the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> sources.
