If you look on the postgresql ftp site you will see a tar.gz distribution file that's been generated today from currently checked-in source files. There's a script that runs each night to update this snapshot. At most times in the development cycle, the snapshot is development-grade code and very possibly broken. Right now, however, we are in strict post-release-bugfix mode and so the snapshot represents what will shortly become 7.0.1. regards, tom lane
