Обсуждение: Beta downloads
Hey Josh, all It's been pointed out to me that the 9.2 beta announcements point to /download/ on the website to get the beta builds. At least for the installers however, we don't link to the betas from the main download pages (which is intentional), but from /download/snapshots/, which is kinda hard to find. Any thoughts on how we can improve that? Should we replace the text pointing to the snapshots page with something a little more inclusive of beta/rc builds? -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Hey Josh, all

Isn't that going to be wrong for all the other downloads as well, though? Should we have a generic text on the download page saying "get beta stuff over here", and then link to /developer/beta/, and then put the info there?

OK, following some further discussion with Magnus over coffee I've pushed some changes to clarify these pages. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
