I certainly wouldn't recommend releasing sarge with a version of PostgreSQL that was a year out of date. It's bad enough that woody still has 7.2 in it. Once 7.4 is in sid, packages that depend on postgresql should ideally be rebuilt. I would be rather surprised if that would prove to be a hold-up on release, considering the progress of the installer and the non-reducing RC bug count. In fact, I also want to get the new structure of postgresql packages that I am working on into sarge, so as to avoid the recurrent database upgrade problems we have had in the past. I consider this a very important goal for the next release as far as the postgresql packages are concerned. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "A Song for the sabbath day.
