I did just look at it (again) and have some more or less serious points which are arguments against inclusion just now: a) it apprently really needs 1.1.x to bbuild, it doesn't build against 2.0.1, at least on powerpc. And besides the fact that 1.1.x is ancient it breaks with sids bison, so we'd need to use bison-1.35 b) If we package it like a "normal" UNO package we need to get a policy on how to (un)install/-register it and how to get it cleanly removed again. And more important: What is with extra components when you upgrade OOo? This isn't solved. Neither is such a policy started. The other way would be to patch OOo and the postgresql driver so that the stuff is included like it was normally included in OOo (like the evoab2 stuff for example) which might be possible but see a) ;) For those reasons I tend not to include it (yet) and tag it wontfix (for now). Maybe sometimes... Originally, that driver even was planned for 2.0 (and I even did help to make systen-pq) but it somehow didn't make it. No idea why. c) Question: which postgresql/libpq do you use? Does it work with sids 8.1.x? Or do you use the binaries? They do work with our OOo packages? I doubt that...
