After Tom Lane fixed an issue with buildfarm tests for 11 and 12,
I added this versions for Solaris on our Page

https://www.jomasoft.ch/downloads/#js-opensource

We build the Solaris binary packages within 1 or 2 days after you guys
released the source code.

The download page is not for you guys. It is for Solaris users.
They have javascript enabled anyway, because the Oracle Support Portal
and many other modern websites use/require javascript.

For MacOS and Windows a link to external pages is no problem.
Why is it a problem for Solaris and AIX?

As we do the work of the buildfarm, building and creating the packages,
we will keep our page. For me it makes no sense to maintain additional
sites. Where is the benefit for you if the packages are on your site?

Best regards,
Marcel
