Re: Request to add EnterpriseDB Postgres to Download page - Mailing list pgsql-www

Sorry, that is not what I meant.  What I meant was that the only piece
that source code is NOT available for is the actual installer because
even we don't have the source code.  The other components have source
code available for them on the website and on the individual projects
pages on their respective sites.

I don't think this is quite right. Are you saying the installer gives
you the option to also install the sources?

Dave? You wrote this, help me out here :)
