ISTM that it'd be a good thing if current versions of all the add-on
source files for both Debian and RedHat RPMs were part of our CVS tree
(perhaps in /contrib, perhaps somewhere else, but anyway in the tree).
Had I been able to find that "No database specified" string by grepping
the sources, I'd have been much less mystified. Likewise for the "peer"
question a week or two back, and the questions we sometimes get about
the behavior of startup scripts that aren't even part of our tarball.
This sort of thing is going to keep coming up, so we might as well admit
that we need to know what is in the RPMs.
Oliver, Lamar, what say you?
