The guys from Askesis in the Netherlands are not providing and binaries due to web space problems. But this may be a good reason for providing the binaries on our projects web site (see URL below). I suppose I'll make it available for download as soon as we have moved our project web site to our new php3 based home with a lot of more quota. The new home will be http://www.student.uni-koeln.de/cygwin/ or http://www.student.uni-koeln.de/~stolj/ Please keep track of the site to see when the postgresql-6.4 binaries are available or register our projects mailing list and you will get an announcement as soon as they are available.
