Thread: Download section on website

Download section on website

From
Magnus Hagander
Date:
is horribly outdated:

FreebSD: 1.8.2 - from 2008, missing bugfixes
OpenSuSE: 1.12.1 - from 2010, missing bugfixes
RPM: 1.8.0 - from 2007, missing bugfixes
Slackware: 1.8.4 - from 2008 (actually not missing bugfixes, just ancient)
Solaris: 1.8.0 - from 2007, missing bugfixes

and no mention at all of debian/ubuntu :O

Basically, only Windows and OSX binaries are maintained there.

How about we just *remove* all the other pages completely? So we'll at
least not trick users into downloading an ancient version, if they
don't read the whole thing...

Go for it (though; should the RPM page point to yum.postgresql.org)?

Well, where do you draw the line then? We shuld have similar links for
Ubuntu/Debian (at least Ubuntu that has a ppa with backports in it,
and it's not th estandard ppa). Or maybe a generic text somewhere?

I personally draw the line at
postgresql.org/pgadmin.org/enterprisedb.com. All the distro-provided
builds can be covered in a sentence on the main download page
("pgAdmin is included with a number of Linux distributions such as
Debian and Ubuntu" for example).

Seems fair to me. So +1 to remove all the outdated pages, and to add
this paragraph in the Introduction page.

No wonder, you first need to extract the sentences, and then merge them
into the old .po files. So, IOW:

cd locale
. ./extract.sh
. ./merge.sh
git add pgadmin3_website.pot
git commit -m "Update the .pot file"
git push

And it should be good.

I can do it if you want...

Nah, I can do it. Maybe we should stick a README somewhere on how to
do it? Or maybe actually make one scrpit that does all those at once?
;)

BTW, the locale/ directory is served up on the website.. Is that
intentional and somebody uses it to download pots etc, or accidental?
