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... :(
