The main exception to the rule is Marc's stuff that's been in place for many years which is run from his own, largely undocumented scripts (hint hint :-) ). developer.postgresql.org in general is a bit of a mess though as it's grown from being the one box that did everything, and is now shrinking again as we migrate services off and onto their own VMs. I'd like to get to the stage where we can remove it altogether. --=20 Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK Ltd: http://www.enterprisedb.com PostgreSQL UK 2008 Conference: http://www.postgresql.org.uk
