Thread: [www] download page is outdated
Hi, The download page for linux binaries http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux should be pointing here http://yum.pgrpms.org/ for rpms per: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-announce/2010-03/msg00012.php -- Atentamente, Jaime Casanova Soporte y capacitación de PostgreSQL Asesoría y desarrollo de sistemas Guayaquil - Ecuador Cel. +59387171157

We are not going to be changing the main download links until it's perfectly clearly that they should be - which it definitely isn't at this point. -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Also, perhaps I'm being obtuse here, but I can not find a link to the actual RPM packages anymore. It seems that the only thing I can locate is the RPM to install the PGDG's YUM configuration, which would then require me to use yum for package management. There should, IMHO, be a link *somewhere* that allows one to download the postgreSQL RPM's directly, without being forced to use Yum. The organization I'm working with now doesn't have access to yum at all, so they need to download and install the RPMs directly... Additionally, the page at http://yum.pgrpms.org/ has no links to any any download locations.. Thanks -- Chander Ganesan Open Technology Group, Inc.

Yes. I've complained repeatedly at the cmd folks about that. It was fixed once, but it was re-broken shortly after. Can we please have this fixed again? > Also, perhaps I'm being obtuse here, but I can not find a link to the actual > RPM packages anymore.

Yeah, agreed, such a link should be there. -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Yeah this is a good idea, I will make sure there are direct download links on the yum site too. Joshua D.
