That's another reasonable idea. It doesn't solve the problem with links going stale (just like having an URL redirector doesn't), but it does make it much easier to change later... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Well, the story behind this commit was that the web site we pointed to originally had a broken download URL, and the author told me he didn't control that page anymore, so I added a link to the github download page he supplied. Then it seems he got them to update the download link on the page, so I just reverted the commit. > > For longer terms, perhaps we should set up an URL forwarder or > something that the docs can link through in the cases where we really > need this, so we can more easily update the URLs? Well, the problem there is that they don't get the real URL unless they go through our system, which seems "closed". -- Bruce Momjian http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Why are we putting such a link directly in the documentation, where it's really hard to change it if we have to, since it's out in many versions already? Shouldn't we be working to remove such dependencies rather than add more of them? Also, are we sure github gist urls are permanent? I know the temporary gists aren't, but I guess maybe the logged-in ones are? For longer terms, perhaps we should set up an URL forwarder or something that the docs can link through in the cases where we really need this, so we can more easily update the URLs? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

[GENERAL] Where is diskchecker.pl ?
Hi, The PostgreSQK documentation refers to diskchecker.pl on the page http://brad.livejournal.com/2116715.html But on this page, the given link for diskchecker.pl does not exist anymore. After some unsuccessfull queries on Google to find the missing file, I wonder if one of you have a lin or a copy of this file. Thank you. -- Cordialement, Jean-Gérard Pailloncy -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
