Thread: In case of emergency...

 <<mirrors-ftp.html>> Just in case of any problems, the attached file is
a static list of our FTP mirrors as of a few moments ago. If there are
any problems with wwwmaster following release (not that I expect there
to be I should add, I'm just being cautious), the best strategy will be
to copy this onto the main server (svr4.postgresql.org), disable the
website sync cron job, and manually tweak the download links on
http://www.postgresql.org/download/index.html & index.html.en to point
to the uploaded file.

Like I say though, I don't anticipate any problems, but just in case...

Regards, Dave.

Dave,

This weekend, the windows binaries were at:
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/ftp/win32/

Now they are at:
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.0/win32/

Can you link in "win32" from the root-level FTP browser?  For two reasons:

1) I just distributed a bunch of press stuff that links to the original
address, and I'm not sure I can notify everyone in time;

2) I'm not sure that most Windows users will be realize that "binary" means
them.

I'm not sure that they will realize win32 means them, but a directory
like "clickhereforthewindowsersion" would probably be a bit over the top
:-)

Himm I think Dave has got confused... That's why he uploaded win32 stuff
under binary/.

Ok, symlink created : win32 -> binary/v8.0/win32

Will appear in main FTP site in an hour.

Executable is the term I usually see.

Thanks.  Will it appear in Dave's FTP browser, though?

BTW, Dave's FTP browser isn't showing 8.0 yet, either.

The pages are rebuilt every 4 hours. Will appear in next site build.

When Marc will update the symlinks to 8.0.0 instead of 7.4.6, the browser
will show it, I think.

It's there:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/src/8.0.0/
