Final, I tried:

$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot co -r REL8_3_STABLE -P pgsql

Checked file configure.in <http://configure.in>. Around line 20, there is line: AC_INIT([PostgreSQL], [8.3.9], [pgsql-b...@postgresql.org <mailto:pgsql-b...@postgresql.org>])

Not sure that indicates version 8.3.9?

But still, is there a testing/developing version for 8.3? I remember Alvaro made a patch to contrib/xml2/xpath.c. What is that version? and How can get this version? Is there a way I can list all branches / versions in CVS server?


I've already told you how to see all the tags/branches - use the "cvs log" command on a longstanding file like "configure.in".

REL8_3_STABLE is the branch to develop against for the 8.3 series of releases. But unless you're fixing a bug it's pointless - we never add features to the stable branches, we only make bug fixes. And for this purpose bugs are defined fairly conservatively. All feature work should normally be done against HEAD.

What exactly are you wanting to do with the back branches?

cheers
