I've found the following so far: TOra (variants), slony1, rb-postgres, all the qt5*-psql-plugin ports, all the qt4-mac-postgresql*-plugin ports, postgresql-unaccent, postgis (the v1 port, that is; postgis2 and postgis3 both have new enough variants/subports), pgtcl, pgpool-II, pgAdmin3, all the libzdb-postgresql* ports, libpqxx26, iplike, BigSQL, and BiggerSQL. > Will the oldest version to be kept still work on at least Snow Leopard? > (useful among old OS versions as the last with the original Rosetta) > > If neither of those is a problem, and it's no longer supported upstream, then > good riddance, IMO, esp.
