Previously, we created a variant of the installation instructions for producing the plain-text INSTALL file by marking up certain parts of installation.sgml using SGML parameterized marked sections. Marked sections will not work anymore in XML, so before we can convert the documentation to XML, we need a new approach. DocBook provides a "profiling" feature that allows selecting content based on attributes, which would work here. But it imposes a noticeable overhead when building the full documentation and causes complications when building some output formats, and given that we recently spent a fair amount of effort optimizing the documentation build time, it seems sad to have to accept that. So as an alternative, (1) we create our own mini-profiling layer that adjusts just the text we want, and (2) assemble the pieces of content that we want in the INSTALL file using XInclude. That way, there is no overhead when building the full documentation and most of the "ugly" stuff in installation.sgml can be removed and dealt with out of line. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
