The pgInstaller CVS for sure - but that wouldn't have worked for the SVN
repo the docs are in. The messages from there go to pgadmin-hackers, so
I'm not quite so keen to keyword filter there unless the regexp is a
little more precise.

Marc; a commit message there might look like (without the lines):

=================================================================
Author: dpage

New Revision: 5906

Revision summary:
http://svn.pgadmin.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?rev=5906&view=rev

Log:
Add a guru hint to warn the user of the consequences of storing
passwords, per Tony Caduto.
=================================================================

Can you hold messages to pgdmin-hackers with say:
"view=rev\n\nLog:\nSecurity: " ?

No, we got lots of flack over it being closed so eventually gave up and
made it 'by approval' and then completely open.

-packagers will work though - can we get David Fetter subscribed, and my
own address approved if it still hasn't been. On a related I'm also not
sure if Hiroshi Saito ([email protected]) is subscribed (he
packages win32-ja) - if not, can we sort that at the same time please?

Regards, Dave.
