doc: Rewrite how to get the source code

Browse Source

download section of the web site.  This gives the user more download
options and the sysadmins more flexibility.  Also, the previously
presented link didn't work for devel versions.

The <productname>PostgreSQL</> &version; sources can be obtained by

The <productname>PostgreSQL</> &version; sources can be obtained from the
download section of our
website: <ulink url="http://www.postgresql.org/download/"></ulink>. You
should get a file named <filename>postgresql-&version;.tar.gz</filename>
or <filename>postgresql-&version;.tar.bz2</filename>. After
you have obtained the file, unpack it:
<screen>
<userinput>gunzip postgresql-&version;.tar.gz</userinput>
<userinput>tar xf postgresql-&version;.tar</userinput>
</screen>
(Use <command>bunzip2</command> instead of <command>gunzip</command> if you
have the <filename>.bz2</filename> file.)
This will create a directory
<filename>postgresql-&version;</filename> under the current directory
with the <productname>PostgreSQL</> sources.
