Well, nothing per se, but first, personally I have little or no
experience to adapt a woody package to the potato structure, even if I
believe there is no much to do in 7.0.2->7.0.3. Yes, I am lazy and I
wanted to back up on some other people's work. :-)
More important, I wanted a general overview of the problem of "tracking
updated PostgreSQL packages while running Debian stable" because I
believe this can become quite a problem. Hopefully 7.1 will be out in a
few weeks, but in meantime Debian proposes 6.5.3 and woody won't become
stable for quite some months - and I am not even sure it will include
7.1. I wanted to know what is in the plans of other people who like to
run an updated version of PostgreSQL and in the meantime not to break
Debian system.
Thanks to everyone for their help.
