There's no agreed-on policy that says that, but I'd sure be hesitant to make any invasive changes in support of adding a new port. However, this patch doesn't look unreasonably scary to me --- AFAICS it's just syncing python.m4 and the plpython Makefile with 8.0's versions. I guess the question is does it break any old platforms? Are we comfortable with the buildfarm's coverage for python on 7.4? regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

I could just disable building with python on that branch on my buildfarm
member. Or we could fix it in the config script properly, although I am
not sure how possible that is, nor if it is at all worth it -
backporting the 8.0 changes would be the way I guess.
Thoughts?
Use a different CPP_FLAGS? That is what we have to do on our hosting-two
box.
