OK, I am ready to do the work, but I would like to get a plan of where
we are going. I see in interfaces:
cliecpgjdbclibpgeasylibpgtcllibpqlibpq++libpqxxodbcperl5python
and we have Pg:DBD waiting to be added.
Now, I know one of Marc's goals is to have libpq as a stand-alone
tarball, but I thought we decided that this _didn't_ require it to be in
a separate CVS repository.
If we split these up based on activity, we have, in decreasing activity
order:
jdbcodbclibpqlibpqxxcliecpglibpq++libpgtclpythonlibpgeasyPg:DBDperl5
We already have separate web sites for jdbc and odbc, and they are in
our main CVS.
What goals do we have? Do we create gborg accounts for all/most of
these so releases can be made independently of the main server? Do we
move their CVS out of the main tree too?
I don't think we should judge libpqxx differently than the other
interfaces just because it is new. We should find a consistent solution
and apply that to all of these interfaces.
Let me add that odbc and jdbc have successfully made releases
independent of our server for over a year now.
I wonder if the best solution is to create gborg accounts for every
interface and keep them in our main CVS, and do independent releases
from there. Should we point to jdbc/odbc.postgresql.org from gborg?
