Leader, eh?  Hrmmm...*looks around for martian's landing* *grin*

I'm going in tonight, and will make up a quick patch for v6.1, since
the rotation scripts seem to be broken :(  I'm going to try and do this
on a weekly basis while we develop v6.2...

I would like for the WWW page to reflect the fact that the only *officially*
support release is v6.1...the patches are "use at own risk", which each
building on the previous one...

Each patch will be considered an improvement over the last, *but* will in
no way be considered *stable*...but I tend to expect that those developing
the server will be careful about adding patches...ie.  Make sure it compiles? :)
I'm going to work on this once I get my new Solaris x86 box at the office...
spend an extra 30min at the office after work, include patches and do a compile
before commiting the changes...

I want to get rid of the daily snapshots...and will be working on installing
CVSup, as a replacement (over the next month or so) for sup...with that in
mind, could those using the different platforms work on getting a binary
client created for us to distribute for those that want to keep up to date.

As for the above...REVOKE/GRANTs...if I can squeeze it in tonight, I'll see
if I can finish what I started in pg_dump towards having access permissions
dumpable :)

Anyone having any problems with the above, can, of course, respond and start
up a heated discussion on it...*grin*
