According to Stefan Kaltenbrunner, who took the time to delve into
developer.pg.org guts, the script used to generate the snapshots looks
like this
/usr/bin/cvs -q export -rREL8_3_STABLE pgsql
cd pgsql
./configure
cd doc/src
gmake postgres.tar.gz
mv postgres.tar.gz ..
gmake postgres.tar.gz
mv postgres.tar.gz ..
gmake man.tar.gz
mv man.tar.gz ..
cd sgml
gmake HISTORY INSTALL
mv -f HISTORY INSTALL ../../..
cd ../../..
gmake VERSION=snapshot dist
gmake maintainer-clean
