Thread: DBD::Pg now without maintainer
The maintainer of DBD::Pg (the PostgreSQL DBI driver for Perl) has given up stewardship of that interface on the dbi developer's list. I would include his original email, but it was slightly inflammatory. Is this the correct list to shop for a new maintainer? If so, is anyone interested? Responses should probably go to jwbaker@acm.org, as he is the current maintainer. Thanks, from the entire PostgreSQL-using portion of the perl community. -johnnnnnnnn
Yes, this is the place. I would be glad to maintain it. It is a major piece of interface software for PostgreSQL, so we really need someone to actively maintain it. I will host it on gborg.postgresql.org. I do need to see his original email. Because it is inflamatory, please email it to me privately. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- jmelesky@performics.com wrote: > The maintainer of DBD::Pg (the PostgreSQL DBI driver for Perl) has given up > stewardship of that interface on the dbi developer's list.

I whitelisted him in (my first such spam filter problem) and still heard nothing. Not sure how to address this further, but I will set it up on gborg and others can get involved. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073
Hello everybody: Does anybody knows if it will exist a specific DataProvider for Postgres in the .NET framework as it actually exists for MS SQL Server, and Oracle? I have to connecto to a Postgres from a .NET application, and OdbcConnection is very slow. Thank you very much. Oscar

For what its worth, I'm doing heavy postgresql development at my new business, and wouldn't mind picking up DBD::Pg maintainership. I think I'm fairly familiar with DBD::Pg details, having submitted more than a few patches last year (some accepted some fallen by wayside, to both Edmund and Jeff). -alex On Mon, 14 Oct 2002, Bruce Momjian wrote: > Peter Eisentraut wrote: > > Bruce Momjian writes: > > > > > Yes, this is the place.

Great. New DBD-pg web site is: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/dbdpg/projdisplay.php The beauty of this is that we don't need _a_ maintainer. We can all get involved and make it better. That's why I wanted it on gborg so many people could get involved. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- alex@pilosoft.com wrote: > For what its worth, I'm doing heavy postgresql development at my new > business, and wouldn't mind picking up DBD::Pg maintainership. > > I think I'm fairly familiar with DBD::Pg details, having submitted more > than a few patches last year (some accepted some fallen by wayside, to > both Edmund and Jeff). > > > -alex > > On Mon, 14 Oct 2002, Bruce Momjian wrote: > > > Peter Eisentraut wrote: > > > Bruce Momjian writes: > > > > > > > Yes, this is the place.

Yeah. Bruce and I were just discussing this point by phone the other
day. Look at JDBC: it's advanced by leaps and bounds lately, because
quite a few people have been working on it. The interfaces that have
been stagnant are the ones where there's only one designated
maintainer. We need to move to a more open maintenance model.
Which is not to say that there shouldn't be some recognized key people
who know all about one package (cf Barry Lind and Dave Cramer's sterling
efforts for JDBC), but it's gotta be an open project.
Off-the-wall idea: it seems like the "core committee plus inner circle
of committers plus community" structure has worked pretty well for the
main server effort. Maybe for the most popular interfaces like JDBC
and ODBC and DBD::Pg, we should consider some similar structure: appoint
a core committee of three or so people for each major interface, and let
them delegate commit rights as they see fit? Or is that too much
bureaucracy?
