Or is there one already? Nope didn't have the time. I needed to get the DB running again quick by: ebuild .../postgresql-server-8.3.8.ebuild compile, interrupting this call ./configure manually with --enable-integer-timestamps and then copying the postgres binary in the approp. position after compiling. This is working. The next upgrade if ~amd64 is enabled would be 8.4 so I should dump/restore anyway. But I will do that in an appropriate timeslot. Regards, Konstantin -- Dipl-Inf.
