Thread: Upcoming Release of PostgreSQL, Inc's erserver v1.2 ...
We (PostgreSQL, Inc) are just in the process of tying up some loose ends
on eRServer v1.2, to be released OSS on GBorg over the next week or so ...
since this is meant to replace rserv, I'd like to remove rserv from the
v7.4 source tree ...
As far as I know, the only patch made to rserv in the distribution was to
extend it to do multi-slave, which eRServer v1.2 already does, *but*
eRServer re-wrote rserv in Java, vs perl as it was originally ...
Is there anyone actually using rserv who would be adverse to my removing
it from the source tar ball?

I'm not actually using it, but I'd be adverse to removing from 7.4 if
only for the fact that their code bases are substantially different and
we have at least a few known users. It seems like it would be much
better to add to the rserv.README information about the rserv gborg
project and note that, unless there is substantial development it will
most likely be dropped from 7.5, perhaps moved to it's own gborg
project.

I could be wrong about this, but I had the idea that contrib/rserv was
already somewhat broken in 7.3, for lack of schema support. Is there
anyone actually using it with 7.3?

Wasn't Michael Nachbur's recent patch for comment written against 7.3?
It seemed to apply cleanly enough, though I don't know for sure if he
was running this against 7.3... Michael, can you confirm?
