Hi Christoph,

First of all i do apologize for my late answer, something went wrong on my side with email delivery... :(

Yes I do, I have often made packages either at office or as a hobby, i created a framework to automatically build Debian packages for kernel and uboot from upstream sources (https://github.com/wbonnet/dft).

Since it's a different and long story i'll be happy to share and discuss about this, maybe in another email ;)

I am not ( yet ;) ) a Debian maintainer, but i have been for several years a Solaris maintainer in OpenCSW and Blastwave for software like Firefox Thunder bird or Xfce, working with upstram communities and submitting portability patches to compile and work under solaris.

Its a different platform and toolchain, but still a maintainer work.


In short :) i know what i am doing by applying to maintain a PG tool package :) it is going to be a lot of work, and i have checked that enough free time time in the coming months to handle this.


> Plus debugging the whole stack on older Debian/Ubuntu releases.

I am running several builders and PG servers under different versions, i can easily adapt my infrastructure to test this and host different reference and test VMs.


I was expecting to have this work to do and of course to with Ubuntu and Postgresql maintainers and community.

I'll be really happy to collaborate with the other communities and share the effort.


I propose to start on my side by upgrading  your pckage to latest  restarting  from existing package definition and let you knwow and see how things are going.


Let me know please what information you may need, and don't hesitate if you have advices on the steps to follow. I expect to start with upgrade and non regression tests. 


Kind regards,
William
