Обсуждение: Links to externally maintained binary packages
Greetings, people of the web. The issue of binary packaging came up again on a different list, so I did a quick usuability test of the web site about that. Even though there is a prominent "binary" link on the front page (nice), this only links to Red Hat and Windows packages, which certainly could give the impression of a very narrow world view on our part to the users. Moreover, I couldn't find, at least within a few clicks of the various download links, any information about obtaining binaries for other operating systems. I would like to compile a list of links to such sites and insert links to that list on http://www.postgresql.org/download/ and http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v*/. Would that be OK? -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

That's a problem - everything under /ftp is auto-generated from the ftp site. You could add a README file which the websitewould display at the bottom of the page. Oh, and fwiw, we do expect to start hosting Solaris binaries Real Soon Now. Regards, Dave -----Unmodified Original Message----- Greetings, people of the web.

Peter, if there are maintainers for other binaries that you'd like to have able to upload *into* our binary section, mind you, arrangements for that can defiitely be made ... ---- Marc G.
