Hi,

The most recent releases for postgresql are available via RSS URL
http://www.postgresql.org/versions.rss. This RSS feed is already very
useful (the link for each entry points to the release notes for that
release of postgresql)

But the description of each item on the RSS feed is simply the text

-- 8< --
MAJOR.MINOR.RELEASE is the latest release in the MAJOR.MINOR series.
-- >8 --

I'd like to propose that the description be extended a little to
include the URL from which to download the source code. Something like
this:

-- 8< --
MAJOR.MINOR.RELEASE is the latest release in the MAJOR.MINOR series.

Grab it from here:
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/vMAJOR.MINOR.RELEASE/postgresql-MAJOR.MINOR.RELEASE.tar.gz
-- >8 --
