Just for the record, in Debian land the versions shipped are thus: oldoldstable (squeeze): 2.8.2 (has 2.8.9 available in squeeze-backports) oldstable (wheezy): 2.8.9 (has 2.8.11 available in wheezy-backports) stable (jessie): 3.0.2 VAX support was added in 2.8.11 (bug fixed in Oct. 2012). I imagine that esoteric platforms are not going to have cmake at all and are going to need their own installation anyway. Not sure if that's going to be more onerous than the requirement to install GNU make. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
