Bug reference:      5057
Logged by:          Andreas Kuckartz

PostgreSQL version: 8.2.14
Operating system:   Windows
Description:        Binaries missing
Details: 

"Only PostgreSQL 8.2 and above are supported on Windows."
http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows

But there are no binaries available for 8.2.14. In fact binaries for that
version are only offered for Linux.

That is a problem because the announcement on the start page states: "Update
releases 8.4.1, 8.3.8, 8.2.14, 8.1.18, 8.0.22 and 7.4.26 are now available
for download. These releases include security-related fixes which should be
installed as soon as possible."

Normal users will assume that binaries are available and not just source
code. I wasted time to find them which I better could have used to build the
binaries.

In fact I later spent time to build the binaries but I still do not have a
usable installer package.
