Folks, http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/latest, which should point to 8.3.4, is still pointing to 8.3.3. --Josh

We also have source/OLD which has 8.3.0, 8.2.5 and 8.2.6. All in all, seems we're not very consistent :-( If we don't have a policy, let's make one - get your arguments out :-) //Magnus

Finding a policy is hard. Finding an old version because only available backup are some rescued pg_data directories from a harddrive that ended its live in the middle of a night in the middle of a national holiday is hard. Of course, officially x.y.n releases are compatible for different n. But in an emergency I would feel better when not needing this compatibility.

We already have "ftp-archive" which keeps the old stuffthat not so many people want. It's not a matter of removing it, it's a matter of staging it off to the other area. //Magnus

Sorry, not sure why I hadn't answered this thread ... but, I generally try and go in after the release has been announced and remove everything -2 (latest and one release back is kept around, rest is moved to ftp-archive) ... It doesn't always work out that way, so there are times when there is 'everything - 3', but then when I go in and clean up, I move 2 over to ftp-archive instead of just the one ...
