No problem.

That's a problem - everything under /ftp is auto-generated from the ftp site. You could add a README file which the website would display at the bottom of the page.
Oh, and fwiw, we do expect to start hosting Solaris binaries Real Soon Now.

Greetings, people of the web.
The issue of binary packaging came up again on a different list, so I
did a quick usuability test of the web site about that. Even though
there is a prominent "binary" link on the front page (nice), this only
links to Red Hat and Windows packages, which certainly could give the
impression of a very narrow world view on our part to the users.
Moreover, I couldn't find, at least within a few clicks of the various
download links, any information about obtaining binaries for other
operating systems.
I would like to compile a list of links to such sites and insert links
to that list on http://www.postgresql.org/download/ and
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v*/. Would that be OK?
