Upcoming postgresql layout change
Due to popular request I'll change the postgresql layout from the big monolithic singular package to a layout as used in debian for 8.1 This will make it easier for the packages xemacs and php at first, and for users it will seperate the dll's and the clients from the server. Note that at first I will only support one simultaneous postgresql server package. A debian-like postgresql-common for simultaneous postgresql server packages (7.4, 8.0, 8.1) is in consideration. Attached are the hint files for the packages. The only changes from debian are non-versioned names, -dev renamed to -devel to be consistent with our naming, and postgresql-server-dev renamed to postgresql-devel. -- Reini sdesc: PostgreSQL C client library ldesc: libpq is a C library that enables user programs to communicate with the PostgreSQL database server.

To make dependencies easier, I could provide the cygpg.dll client lib in a seperate libpg8 package, so that you could talk to a remote postgresql server at least. ok? This would certainly improve the situation. However: cygpq.dll in libpq8 ?? that sounds wrong to me. Surely it should be cygpq8.dll in libpq8, or cygpq.dll in libpq ? It will be libpg4 :) They did fewer client lib changes and no name versioning. See and answer in the seperate postgresql layout thread please. For now I will stay with cygpg.dll and add named versions (cygpg-3.dll for 7.x, cygpg-4.dll for 8.x) when simultanous servers will be supported. -- Reini

In fact, I've been (slowly) working on preparing a new release of pdksh that includes many of the mirbsd patches. I don't mind obsoleting pdksh in favor of mksh, but we'll need to coordinate this. Jari, you might want to review the pending complaints about pdksh to see if they are fixed in your mksh version. I can send you a list (with links to archives) if you're interested.

Igor has vetoed this package so I don't think there is any reason to continue testing it for now. Just a clarification -- I did not veto the package as much as I vetoed having it as a *separate* package. If this is indeed an update of pdksh, I'm willing to relinquish maintainership (and the package could also be renamed, FWIW). But having both in the distro would be pretty useless. IMO, until Jari replies to my proposal, cygwin-apps is not an appropriate place for reporting bugs and results of testing mksh. You should be able to report the bugs directly to him, however.
