Hi
 I was recently trying out MediaWiki application on nevada build 73 . 
During this exercise, I noticed some minor glitches with our Postgres 
database server bundled within Nevada. So, I was wondering, if there is 
any plan to reorganize the layout so as to provide better user experience.

1.  There seems to be some inconsistency in the file layout design 
between Postgres 8.1 and 8.2. While Postgres 8.1 is located under 
/usr/bin , Postgres 8.2 is found under /usr/postgres/8.2.
2.  Database content  is also not consistent between these 2 versions. 
For example, Postgres 8.2 data is under /var/postgres/8.2 while 8.1 is 
under /var/lib/pgsql.

Is this a known issue ?

Can we not simply bundle only 8.2 version of Postgres database and 
create a symbolic link of Postgres 8.2 binaries under /usr/postgres/ 
pointing to /usr/postgres/8.2/

Also, to provide a better user experience, can /usr/postgre/8.2 be set 
in your PATH when the database administrator  changes user (su - ) to 
postgres ?
