These packages are currently in Beta, and we expect to FCS in 2 -3 weeks. The packages, along with an install guide, are available for download at http://pgfoundry.org/projects/solarispackages/ We have tightly integrated PostgreSQL with Solaris in a manner similar to the Linux distributions available on postgresql.org. In fact, the directory structures are identical. Starting with Solaris 10 Update 2, PostgreSQL will be distributed with every copy of Solaris, via download and physical media. We welcome any and all feedback on this PostgreSQL Solaris distribution. Please subscribe to the solarispackages-general@pgfoundry.org mailing list to give us feedback: http://pgfoundry.org/mail/?group_id=1000063 BTW, I'm a senior engineer at Sun Microsystems, recently working with the PostgreSQL community (namely Josh Berkus, Devrim Gunduz, and Gavin Sherry) on the Solaris Packages Project at PgFoundry, PostgreSQL performance optimization on Solaris, and leveraging Solaris 10 capabilities (e.g. DTrace) specifically for PostgreSQL. I'll be posting a Solaris performance tuning guide in a few weeks. Regards, Robert Lor
