============================================================================                       POSTGRESQL BUG
REPORTTEMPLATE 
============================================================================


Your name        : Emil Marklund
Your email address    : eeemil@cs.umu.se


System Configuration:
--------------------- Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)        : Intel i7 3770k
 Operating System (example: Linux 2.4.18)    : Linux 3.13.0-113
 PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL 10devel):  PostgreSQL 10devel
(latest git as of friday 28 april 16:18 utc)
 Compiler used (example: gcc 3.3.5)        : gcc 4.8.4


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
I could not find any installation instructions in the source tree, even
though the README said there would be a file named INSTALL in them




Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Be a new user

2. Download the git repository from
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git

3. Follow the instructions from the Readme


If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update your documentation to be more suitable for new users.

Perhaps make a suitable readme file with informative headers, e.g.

# Postgres

Is a DBMS with features and stuff

# Build instructions

See online at...

# Contribution

Please do it this way...

# Bugs, etc

Send an email to...



P.S.

I eventually found build instructions online, but that is not important :)

See README.git.  The regular README file describes what you'll find
in a tarball distribution.
