Thread: Postgres 8 and Slony-1
Hi Any news when Postgres 8 will be released? Also, are there any plans to include Slony with it, as part of the same source download, or as part of a group 'matched' source files/rpms/dpkgs etc? Thanks All Simon -- Simon Windsor Eml: simon.windsor@cornfield.org.uk Tel: 01454 617689 Mob: 07960 321599
If things go well, there's a release candidate hoped to be suitable for a Dec 15th date. But releases will _actually_ be ready when they are ready. > Also, are there any plans to include Slony with it, as part of the > same source download, or as part of a group 'matched' source > files/rpms/dpkgs etc? That's not the PG Development Group's responsibility; if makers of Linux distributions choose to do so, that's _their_ problem. It looks as though that will be somewhat hard to do until Slony-I 1.1 gets released, as the 1.0 series isn't readily compilable without having a whole PG source tree around. In 1.1, there are more sophisticated source configuration options that make that particular inconvenience unnecessary. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="gmail.com" in name ^ "@" ^ tld;; http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/linux.html "They're deleting the word `gullible' from modern dictionaries, presumably because it's too difficult a concept for the modern man or woman to understand."
