I'm writing a script that wants to know the latest release for a given major.minor version. Is there some better way than parsing http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/ or trying to connect to ftp (which is invariably timing out on me today. Is that box getting hammered or something?) and doing the parsing that? Both approaches feel quite awkward to me.
Use wget to download via HTTP (added recently). Probably wise to add a couple mirrors in your script.
