Having recently tried to get this to work right and not quite nailed it down yet, I know it would be a help to new developers if someone using this technique would write out a suggested setup/workflow for generating patches this way. Right now the best instructions out there are those that go with the buildfarm http://pgfoundry.org/docman/view.php/1000040/4/PGBuildFarm-HOWTO.txt and those aren't quite focused right if the goal is to work on new patches while keeping in sync with the repository. -- * Greg Smith gsmith@gregsmith.com http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD
