Also, they don't work. If we're going to move our users to apt.postgresql.org, we really need to provide a PPA for easy install. Until we do that, we shouldn't deprecate Martin's backports, which are easy to install and well-maintained. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-www mailing list (pgsql-www@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-www
