Sending it to -patches first waiting for it to hit the archive so I can link to it in my reply on -hackers seems pointless and convoluted. But if thats what you want, thats what ill try to do from now on :) For instance the patch Tom reviewed of mine yesterday only -hackers was copied, so I maintained that but also added -patches because I was sending in a patch... I think It will be an ongoing problem though especially for new people as they probably wont understand the "logical" split... -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
