Automatic registration on Downloading sites using a PAD file

From

Dear friends,

Just a quick note to say that a common XML standard, called PAD format,
enables automatic registration/updates on downloading sites.

The specifications of PAD can be found here:
http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad

If you enter "pgadmin" on http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/padlib.asp and
click "Search", you will find "EMS PostgreSQL Manager". Smart, hum? Now,
enter "mysql" and "postgresql"...

Thanks to PAD, it should be easy to spead pgAdmin III on downloading sites.

A preview of pgAdmin III PAD file can be found here:
http://pgadmin.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/cnt/pgadmin3.xml

There are a very few obligations: one of them is that it is required to point
directly to installer files (.zip), which means in our case choose the most
five largest mirrors in the PostgreSQL list.

By the way, the PAD file includes language information. So, if all of you
could update the web site translation from the translation page, this would
be a big "plus". The links:

Acouple of things:

- 30+ languages is mentioned twice in the description.
- The primary download site is
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/pgadmin3/release/win32/pgadmin3.
zip

None of the others can be guaranteed.

- Shouldn't the URL point to the pgadmin3/release directory? The rest of
the file advertises different platforms, for which a .zip is no use.

- Do we support NT4?

Regards, Dave.

Probably no problem, I can't recall any W2K+ specific calls.

OK, I will update the PAD file and web site with NT compliance.

Also, I slightly modified the licence disclaimer again in CVS, but it is only
a proposal/reminder as there is no agreement yet.
