We advise you to read this document thoroughly as it describes things to consider before extracting the release from the tar file. It is expected that you can print this file with a command similar to: % psroff -me -P postgres-v4r0r1.tar.Z ---------------- This is a compressed tar file containing the postgres release. Note: be sure and transfer this file in BINARY mode. Follow the instructions in postgres-setup.me to install the release. postgres-papers.tar.Z ---------------- This is a compressed tar file containing Postgres tech reports and tutorials. It is intended for those who want tech reports about the Postgres project but who do not want the entire code distribution. All files in this tar file are also in postgres-v4r0r1.tar.Z. postgres-v4r0r1.bugs ---------------- This is a flat ASCII file containing a list of the currently reported bugs in Postgres and their repair status. If you encounter a bug in Postgres that is not in this list, please report it to bug-postgres@postgres.berkeley.edu and we will fix the bug, hopefully by our next release. In any case, we will suggest a workaround if possible.
