Re: [ANNOUNCE] November 4th, 1998: PostgreSQL v6.4 Released

Since I published it as v6.4, I just created a symlink to the other name,
just in case maybe someone is relying on it staying the same (ie. 6.4 vs
v6.4)...

I advertised it as v6.4, and to avoid having a slew of questions stating
ppl can't find it... :(

By the way, I thought the file name of the v6.4 would be

versions did not have a name such as "postgresql.v*.".
Have you changed naming policy?

I never think about it when I do it...I think I named it v6.3.2
last time too, but ended up renaming it for some reason :(

Just curious, but is there a reason why it matters? If there is,
I"ll gladly change it back again...I'm quite easy to get along with as far
as taht is concered :)

No, I just felt that the file name is unexpected.

Here are file names since 6.1 (I don't remember about 6.0):

ppostgresql-v6.1.tar.gz
postgresql-v6.1.1.tar.gz
postgresql-6.2.tar.gz
postgresql-6.2.1.tar.gz
postgresql-6.3.tar.gz
postgresql-6.3.1.tar.gz
postgresql-6.3.2.tar.gz

So seems that "postgresql-v6*" had been used only for 6.1 series.
