Mostly the reason that this fix was not being bandied about is that the Postgres source code is largely under third party control. If the change can be made to the Makefile, etc., which is under direct control of FreeBSD, then the code will compile unmodified. That means if there are future changes, we won't end up with a local patch to third party code, which doesn't apply cleanly. Locally maintaining patches against large projects is a very big headache; in fact, this headache is one of the primary things people rely upon in order to ensure that people donate tactical fixes back to the FreeBSD project itself. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
