We don't produce minor releases of old versions so backpatching seems a little pointless. >>> I think somebody (and I'm >>> getting that feeling it's going to be me) should figure out how to build >>> a backport of the pgadmin HEAD that goes at least a couple of versions >>> back to help out with this.

The one thing we don't want is a vendor patched version of pgAdmin getting out there. Older versions of Ubuntu (and to a lesser extent Debian) caused us extreme amounts of pain due to vendor patches in wx that basically broke it. I don't want them doing the same with our code, no matter how simple the patch may seem I don't object to a snapshot build if someone wants to do that though. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
