There is a postgresql-devel port in FreeBSD now that I am maintaining that is where DBAs and anxious developers can cut their teeth on the new features/bugs/interactions in PostgreSQL. As soon as we get out of beta here, I'm going to likely get in the habbit of updating the port once a month or so with snapshots from the tree. FWIW, at some point I'm going to SPAM the CVS tree with a POSTGRESQL_PORT tunable that will let users decide which PostgreSQL instance they want (stable version vs -devel). I've been really busy recently and haven't gotten around to double checking things since I made the changes a month ago during the freeze. Maybe this weekend I'll get around to touching down on all of the various files.... no promises, I'm getting ready to move. -sc -- Sean Chittenden ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
