The developer.postgresql.org machine really isn't geared to handle downloads.. Any reason you can't just stick it on the standard ftp sites and have it mirrored along with everything else? This is taken from our spec: # Pre-release RPM's should not be put up on the public ftp.postgresql.org server # -- only test releases or full releases should be.

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
