There seem to be some efforts to update it, but yeah, the software behind it didn't age gracefully, and it seems doubtful to me that people will be flocking back to pgfoundry. The other ongoing attempt at an "umbrella" is PGXN, and it's different enough in approach that, while it's not obvious that it'll succeed, if it fails, the failure wouldn't involve the same set of issues that made pgfoundry problematic. PGXN notably captures metadata about the project; resources (e.g. - SCM) don't have to be kept there. -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?" -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
