Frankly, I'd suggest dropping the splits. Thoughts?

I also found the split sources + a non-split sources version to be
confusing. As you, I think that splitting should be dropped.

Perhaps the confusion issue could be addressed by keeping the split sources in a separate subdirectory:

        pub/source/v.8.0.1/
                postgresql-8.0.1.tar.bz2
                postgresql-8.0.1.tar.bz2.md5
                postgresql-8.0.1.tar.gz
                postgresql-8.0.1.tar.gz.md5
                split-tarballs/
                        postgresql-base-8.0.1.tar.bz2
                        postgresql-base-8.0.1.tar.bz2.md5
                        etc...

That sounds like a reasonable compromise ... I could do that right away, if nobody is in disagreement ... ?

Seems reasonable to me.


I suspect the demand for the split tarballs is mighty low nowaways,
but it's probably not zero yet.

Considering that every new FreeBSD install uses them exclusively, I don't expect it to drop to zero in the near future ..

Do they pull fromt eh pg mirrors, or from their own? I realise they still need it, of course, but it'd be interesting to know.
