Hi,
Darcy just pointed out that there is a problem with the beta2 directory
name for sources in the FTP sites. For beta1 , we have v8.3beta1, which
is the correct naming, and for beta2, we have v8.3beta .
I first would just rename the directory, but again Darcy reminded that
the announcement text includes "v8.3beta" directory. We need to symlink
it to beta2 for now, and then create beta3 (or whatever) directory next
time.
I'll create the symlink later today, unless someone objects.
Regards,

Do not create the symlink, the directory naming wasn't a mistake ... it was
named without the trailing # at the request of JoshB, as it simplified pointing
ppl to the binaries ... all future beta's will be put into the same directory,
with the filenames themselves the only thing that will be changing ..

There's a big problem here, and that's that we are not consistent.
Things like that shouldn't just change "at the request of JoshB", it
should be discussed on the lists to determine all implications first...

/me loves the whole 8.3 cycle... new features after feature freeze,
initdb in beta2 and now change in ftp directory structure. :)

hmm... istm i am not getting emails from Marc... *shrug*.
Just to reiterate (since I brought this up when we released the announcement),
we actually now have 2 different naming schemes; no # for the tarballs, and
with a # for beta binaries. now *that* is silly, so let's get it together for
beta3 eh?
Personally I go +1 on having the # in the url, and I would also like to see
old beta directories removed once the new beta is out (someone looking
in /source directory is bound to think /beta1 came after /beta based on
sorting alone, and is there *any* reason we want people downloading beta1 at
this point?)

The binaries won't be sharing directories across versions.
