It will presumably exist once there is a final release, but I think it's bad to have that link broken in the meantime, especially when beta comes around. It's also not clear whether ftp and tar.gz are necessarily the preferred download means anymore. Should we just provide a link to http://www.postgresql.org/download/ or http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/ instead? Or perhaps just "ifdef" out the broken link in the devel versions? -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
