Well, I still have at least on repo against the old respository, which is why I mentioned it. Maybe there's nothing valuable in there and maybe I don't need the origin anyway, but I haven't bothered to check it over carefully yet because, well, there's no rush to clean up my old repositories, and there is a rush to finish 9.1 development real soon now. I can, of course, carve out time to deal with it, but I think that it's a poor use of time and that the risk of confusion that you and Magnus are postulating is mostly hypothetical. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
