[Fink-users] postgresql in unstable

2002-11-21 Thread Benjamin Reed
For those that didn't see, I've totally reworked the postgresql packages. First of all, the old postgresql was building everything as bundles, which meant all of the libraries and binaries that were using postgresql were statically-linking. This is bad. =) The new postgresql makes proper

[Fink-users] xfree86-threaded and matlab

2002-11-21 Thread Martin Costabel
