Understood, but the linux RPM download link here:
http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux
Points to here:
https://projects.commandprompt.com/public/pgcore
Which has a "location moved" (as opposed to a permanent redirect) link
to here:
https://public.commandprompt.com/projects/pgcore/wiki
Seems like we could at least get rid of the redirection parts.
Also, perhaps I'm being obtuse here, but I can not find a link to the
actual RPM packages anymore. It seems that the only thing I can locate
is the RPM to install the PGDG's YUM configuration, which would then
require me to use yum for package management. There should, IMHO, be a
link *somewhere* that allows one to download the postgreSQL RPM's
directly, without being forced to use Yum. The organization I'm working
with now doesn't have access to yum at all, so they need to download and
install the RPMs directly...
Additionally, the page at http://yum.pgrpms.org/ has no links to any any
download locations..
Thanks
