I agree with that part about gunduz.org. But I think it'd be better to just have a separate subdirectory for beta/rc:s on the ftp site. There is already a http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1beta/ which has the win32 beta/rc files, so I suggest adding required dirs and put the RPMs there. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
