POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE
============================================================================

Your name : Emil Marklund
Your email address : eeemil(at)cs(dot)umu(dot)se

System Configuration:
---------------------
Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : Intel i7 3770k

Operating System (example: Linux 2.4.18) : Linux 3.13.0-113

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 :)
