Thread: Broken link to 8.2 release notes
The page here, which is linked from the press kit: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release.html contains a broken link to both the 8.2 release notes and 8.1.5. After a few minutes, the link to the 8.2 notes disappeared, and then reappeared (still a broken link). I think something is wrong, or I am hitting various mirror sites or something. Regards, Jeff Davis

A 404 seems undesirable to me. Regards, Jeff Davis

Honestly, I can't answer that. We need dpage, magnus, devrim (all who
are likley asleep now) or Rob Treat who is likely at the show.

What I did was a "host www.postgresql.org" and 4 IPs were returned: www.postgresql.org is an alias for static.mirrors.postgresql.org. static.mirrors.postgresql.org has address 217.196.146.201 static.mirrors.postgresql.org has address 66.98.251.159 static.mirrors.postgresql.org has address 80.179.151.210 static.mirrors.postgresql.org has address 212.247.200.180 I did a telnet to each one and an HTTP request to see if the document existed on that box. For those two I listed in the previous email, no document existed which was causing a 404 for some people (like me). Now the document exists on all those 4 IPs. It just took a while for them to sync up I guess. Regards, Jeff Davis

Agreed - I looked at this at the time and couldn't see anything wrong. Besides, we do monitor them as well, so if one falls too far out of sync it automatically gets removed from active duty until it catches up again. Regards, Dave.
