Debian package for freeradius_postgresql module - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hello All,

We have a project which is built on postgresql and freeradius on debian system. I
have installed postgresql-8.1 on the Debian system, and lately freeradius-1.1.0
also. Things seems ok, but when we started to test, we found that the postgresql
module of freeradius is missing in the debian distribution!

After desperately checking, we were told that debian doesn't distribute the binary
module of freeradius for postgresql because of the incompatible license of these two
apps! However we can build the debian pkg from the source ourself if we need.  So
we did it.  But this problem: we got so many...so many warnings during the process
of building the debian packages, tons of the warnings!  So although we have the
packages now, we don't know if we can use them with so many so many warnings??!

I want to post some of the warnings here for your advice.  Please tell me with such
kind of warnings, will the built packages still usable??  Further more, I am afraid
it is because our system is not purly dev system, so that we got those warnings...
so, if any one of you could possibly help us to get a v1.1.0 postgresql module of
freeradius, I would be so much grateful!! Or, if you can help us to get the newest
v1.1.1 freeradius package set fro debian (include the postgresql module), that will
be great also!  I deeply hope to get help from you...

We specifically need this module bacause the codes in postgresql to work with
freeradius have been built, can't imagine all work will be trashed...:(
