I am a little bit confused about this release. It seems pre-formatted
html docs and man files are not included in
ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v7.0.1/postgresql.7.0.1.tar.gz

cd /usr/local/src/pgsql/7.0.1/postgresql-7.0.1/doc
make install
make all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/pgsql/7.0.1/postgresql-7.0.1/doc'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `admin', needed by `all'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/pgsql/7.0.1/postgresql-7.0.1/doc'
make: *** [install] Error 2

So I grabed postgresql.7.0.1.docs.tar.gz and looked into the contents,
but I couldn't find pre-formatted docs. Am I missing something?

Also, bellow is different from the release note included in the tar ball?

BTW, why
the tar ball is named postgresql.7.0.1.tar.gz, rather than
postgresql-7.0.1.tar.gz?

This may confuse users becasue following descriptions are in INSTALL:

> gunzip postgresql-7.0.1.tar.gz
> tar -xf postgresql-7.0.1.tar
