It would be nice to have it, however it's not yet in a state to /replace/ teTeX. So far it's only an alternative. I'd still have to make a real conflicts test and take care of the most common teTeX depending ports in a way that doesn't cause the entire texlive-texmf to be pulled in as a dependency.

I'm pretty certain that ports on 6.X was broken with OPTIONSng (r297660), but I seem to remember that other compatibility was ripped out before then; perhaps Mark can clarify. r259629 specifically talks about removing 6.3 shims, but that is way before.

When was the last ports tree that worked with RELENG_6?
I have an old 6.4-R machine which I can take as far as RELENG_6, but no further due to a hardware-support issue (special hardware, third party driver). The hardware needs to live a while yet, so I'd like to try to get the installed ports as up to date as possible. The current ports tree doesn't work on 6.x, so I need to find the last version of the ports tree that does work. The ports tree on the box is *newer* than the one tagged RELEASE_6_EOL, so it's not that simple. The current tree was pulled 2012-Feb-21 10:38 UTC and I know it works. It looks like the RELEASE_8_3_0 tree (2012-March-7) also works based on some very basic testing. Does anyone when the ports tree broke for 6.x? Alternately, if someone knows what it was that (first) broke the tree for 6.x, I can easily hunt down commits and find a predated tree that works.

The streaming replication is able to recover after "some" connectivity loss, provided you still have enough transaction log (WAL) available on the master. See configuration parameter "wal_keep_segments" and it's description. Have you looked at databases/postgresql-repmgr? Otherwise, I'm not that much of help with this, as the postgresql clustering I'm doing at work runs under linux and is rather proprietary (the underlying cluster technology has been developed by us).

PostgreSQL 9.2: database replication on demand - easy way (Bucardo in ports not available)
Dear Sirs. I send my question to this list in the hope someone has the same problems and already found a solution. I will start explaining the background and my difficulties with recent solutions. We/I have a FreeBSD 10 box running a PostgreSQL 9.2 server containing literature references via RefDB, some sort of bugtracking via Bugzilla, several astronomical databases of the IAU (minor planet objects) and others. Those databases are kept and maintained on one single box at the department. Since a lot of the data is needed in my home office or at a lab with non-permanent internet connection, I desperately need to synchronize the databases kept on the "master" with some backup database systems acting as "master/slave" when they are online. The latter definition is fuzzy, since what I need is an automated synchronization of the "real" master with a sporadically upcoming "slave" at home or at field sites for my science where, as said, the internet connectivity isn't provided 24/7. I feel realy uncomfortable with the built-in streaming replication of PostgreSQL 9.2 since I never managed it to make a successful replication. As far as I understand, the streaming mechanism of PostgreSQL 9.X expects the "slaves" to be always online, to which the replication. I was said that Bucardo (http://bucardo.org/) would be the tool of choice, but FreeBSD ports seem not not have this tool. SLONY also is a way to complicated for my for just this task - or I'm to dumb to perform a solution that fits easily. Is someone out here who might have the same problems and already figured out how to solve this? I do not want to go into this crap "pg_dump", since I tried this many times and it failed due to some issues I never figured out why in PostgreSQL 9.2. Sorry being unspecific here, it is a long time since I tried this frustrating task and it boiled always down to some confusing "postgres/template1" issues when dumping the master and trying to update the "slave". Even following the textbook's suggestions ended up in a mess. Well, I appreaciate some hints and concepts (working, not hypothetical "could be's", those are floating enough around the FreeBSD related net).
