While the major distributions support LSB, the major distributions also have PostgreSQL packages available and so will likely not need the init script shipped in the source. It will most likely be useful for various do-it-yourself setups on fringe distributions. So I don't know; it might be best to keep both, if they are maintained. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
