Hi

Okay... you guys said "No question is too simple here", so here I go...

I see 4 directories/ folders in /binary/v7.4.5/srpms/

fedora-core-1
fedora-core-2
redhat-9
rhel-3

Which one of those do I download and build for Mac OS X.

I warned you!

Thanks in advance...
Kunal

If you're interested in building from source, you probably don't want
to be looking in the binaries directory :) postgresql-7.4.5.tar.gz is
the full source, iirc.

If you'd like a package for Mac OS X, check out Mark Liyanage's package
at www.entropy.ch
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/

Last I checked, the package was for v7.4.3. I'm sure he'll get around
to updating it. However, 7.4.5 is definitely what you'll want, as it
includes some critical bug-fixes.

Man, I can't believe I actually wrote that! Where's that "withdraw mail" button :p

I went to look for a MacOS binary (package) in the binary folder but finding none opened the
source folder in the background (another window). 15 minutes and a coffee break later, I mistook
the contents of the binary folder as the source one and didn't even notice that while I was
posting (pasting)...

What was I thinking (or not) !!! :)

Of course looking at /postgresql/source/v7.4.5/ (/ is okay btw) I know what to get ;)

He's still with 7.4.3

How stable or otherwise is beta 8.0.0 - good enough to proceed with some development?

Cheers!

Development, I'd say yes. Production, definitely not. That's why it's
beta :)
