* RPM maintainer?

I was wondering if any one is responsible for making
the RPM for postgresql? "rpm" could be added as a
make target and the sources required to build the
rpm could be added to the CVS repository. In this
way those people who only want binaries could be
better supported.
I don't have a ton of time, but I could do it if
there arn't any other heads available. I'm currently
working on SGML integration and would rather spend
my time there...

That would be great. The RedHat folks are swamped with maintaining
*lots* of packages, and I'm sure it would help if we could do the
maintenance of the rpm for them.
Nobody else has stepped forward for that yet, though it has been a need
for a while. You're welcome to it ;)
Perhaps once the rpm build is codified, it would be easier for others to
help. I've got the rpm book, but have not waded through enough to figure
out how to build a from-scratch installation.

Does this mean that we should consider maintaining other packaging
systems, e.g., the pkg systems used by FreeBSD/NetBSD/... ? I have no
idea if there is interest among the "normal" maintainers of those
things, but I suspect that like all of us they have too many things
going on also.
Cheers,
Brook

I'm not certain about all of them, but for example someone (Oliver?)
maintains a Debian package for Postgres. Distribution packages are
always a good idea and helpful to some folks.
We have no normal maintainers in my experience. However, anyone
interested in maintaining packages would be welcome to join us as
another abnormal maintainer :)
