Thread: Old interfaces directory in CVS tree?
A libpqxx user just informed me that the anonymous CVS repository at anoncvs.postgresql.org still contained a 2002 version of libpqxx in the interfaces directory. I checked it out and otherwise it seems to be the current source tree--at least I found an 8.1 version number somewhere. Could someone "cvs remove" this old libpqxx version? Having the old code available may still be useful, but it should not be in current checkouts! Jeroen

Doesn't make a difference. Besides, the outdated source is there even on a fresh checkout. Jeroen

Are we keeping it for historical purposes? Yes, since past releases did include it, so if we check out a previous release, it needs to be able to pull those files as well ... ---- Marc G.

I think the person in question was doing a regular checkout of the mainline source tree, and found this in there. > Yes, since past releases did include it, so if we check out a previous > release, it needs to be able to pull those files as well ... But 8.1 is hardly a previous release. Shouldn't this directory be in the attic or something? Jeroen
