Will do a short announce tomorrow, but if anyone wants to look it over, 
make sure that I didn't miss anything?  the files are available at 
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v8.0.0beta1 ... both gz and bz2 files 
are available ...

the only thing in the build that needs to be fixed is:

cp /var/spool/ftp/pub/dev/doc/man-7.4.tar.gz ../man.tar.gz

Tarball looks good from here.

Yeah, sure wish we could generate those man pages automatically :-(

Is there a reason why we can't?

Usually, you need to look them over and fix them up a bit.  You also 
need a patched version of the processing tools.

Would it be possible to automatically generate an un-fixed-up version
for beta releases?  I'd rather have the right info in an ugly format
than the wrong info ...

In doc/src/, run "make man.tar.gz".  The required software should be 
listed in the documentation.  I don't actually seem to have it 
available myself (OS change since last release, I think); I will look 
for it tomorrow.

'k, and I'll look into this tonight ... won't be there for beta1, but at 
least we might have it for beta2 ...

Thanks ...
