pgAdmin 1.12 will be released before, or with PostgreSQL 9.0, so there

I got that part already. My thought was just that were it possible to
include a trivial fix and backport something that's beyond completely
broken into 1.10, that might be worth doing. Now that I see your list
of additional issues here I see why that's not practical even if
resources were available, which they aren't.
So it sounds like everybody who has an opinion here would like me to
build a PPA of the current development snapshot on at least some
semi-regular interval. To follow Ubuntu guidelines, I should use a
version number between the official ones and what is expected to be used
in the next major release. I believe we'll see:
Lucid Lynx 10.4: pgadmin3_1.10.1-1
Masturbating Minx 10.10: pgadmin3_1.12.X-1 (I swear, it's on the
possible codename list!)
So the PPAs I build should be pgadmin3_1.11.1-1~ppa1 I think. That
would be accepted as an upgrade to anyone who adds my PPA, but rejected
by anyone who already has the official 1.12 once a version including
that is released. That seems to be how this project is coding its
versions too, right?
Only serious issue I heard Guillaume raise is this:
"If you want to work on this, I think the main issue you'll encounter is
to get a current wxWidgets release. You need at least 2.8.8 on Linux
IIRC. 2.8.11 (released last week IIRC) would be great but not required."
That breaks down like this:
Hardy: 2.8.7.1 ; won't support
Intrepid: 2.8.8.0; might get lucky and this works, sounds a little
close to the edge here.
Jaunty: 2.8.9.1. This is my main target, so fine here
Karmic: 2.8.10.1
Lucid: 2.8.10.1
That would make the target support list:
Dapper, Fesity: V1.6.3 from pgAdmin site
Gutsy: V1.8.0 from pgAdmin site
Hardy: V1.8.2 from Ubuntu universe, possible PPA version too but not
going to push it if there's problems
Intrepid: V1.8.4 from Ubuntu universe, V1.11.0 PPA
Jaunty: V1.8.4 from Ubuntu universe, V1.11.0 PPA
Karmic: V1.10 from Ubuntu universe, V1.11.0 PPA
Lucid: V1.10.1 from Ubuntu universe, V1.11.0 PPA
Minx: V1.12.1 from Ubuntu universe (hopefully)
