DBD::Pg ...

Just got a note from Jeffrey on this, and he acknowledges that he is
continuing to maintain DBD::Pg through CPAN, so we won't be moving it to
GBorg ...

Bruce, he mentions having tried to contact you via email, but being
unsuccessful due to your anti-spam blacklist filters :(

Ok. Are there plans to remove interfaces/perl5 from the CVS tree?

Cheers,

Neil

Yes ... that will be moved over to GBorg similar to libpq++ ... Bruce, can
you create a projet for that as well?  maybe call it pg-perl?

Maybe it could also be left to die ? Is someone still maintaining it ?
People should really use DBD::Pg (good that it stays on CPAN).

Why do you say that?

Pg's interface seems a bit closer to libpg's interface than DBD::Pg.
I would think that would be an advantage.

Well libpq is very nonstandard same as interfaces/perl5. Since I like
somewhat portable code, I would allways suggest people use the more standard
interfaces, like DBD::Pg ODBC ECPG.

Well, can't say much to ECPG/ODBC, but I find that using DBI, period, is
easier then the perl5 interface, as it allows for creating reasonably
portable perl code ...

Would you please ask him if he would create a gborg project for it so he
and I can make changes, and we can have a mailing list and bug list for
it?  I think that is a good idea.   I have the code here if he wants me
to do it.

That is strange.  That is the first report I have gotten that my spam
blocks are blocking anything but spam.  Do you have is address so I can
whitelist him. I see his address in the Pg:DBD README as Jeffrey W.
Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>.  I can't believe I am blocking acm.org.

Jeffrey, I have several Perl:DBD patches my mailbox that I have
accumulated over the years that never made it over to Edmund or
yourself.  Would you like them?  

Also, would you consider creating a Pg:DBD project on
http://gborg.postgresql.org.  We are trying to get all the PostgreSQL
interfaces on that site.  It doesn't prevent you from distributing via
CPAN as well, it just gives Pg:DBD more visibility, plus a mailing list
and bug database, if that would be helpful.

If it would be helpful, I can create the project on there and make you
an administrator.
