Would someone please apply this patch to the website code so pglife (http://pglife.momjian.us/) can more easily scrape the current release numbers from the website? Thanks.
Uh, if you are looking to get the current release, why are you scraping the main webpage instead of using the structured format data already available at https://www.postgresql.org/versions.rss?
(Now granted, I think that link may have gone missing in the redesign, but your pglife thing predates that..)
Now, having staid that, we should probably consider having a structured format with more data in it. But doesn't that one actually have all you need?
Hm...just expanding on his, perhaps we have a “Feeds” page that has a collection of all the different
feeds we offer?
That would probably not be a bad idea. Though perhaps have it being something other than specifically feeds, if we want to for example add the ability to give a json (or xml or whatnot) page with fully structured version info etc. Unless we want to consider those as being separate things and apart -- but I think having them both on the same page would make sense.
