Package: ftp.debian.org Hi,
postgresql-8.1 has been available in sid and testing for a fair while now, and postgresql-common has advocated 8.0 as deprecated for some months now, too. In order to reduce versionitis, it's time now for 8.0 to be removed from the archive. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /home/jeroen/kat/melanie -n -R postgresql-8.0 [...] Checking reverse dependencies... ** postgresql-8.0-pljava-gcj has an unsatisfied dependency on alpha: postgresql-8.0 ** postgresql-8.0-pljava-gcj has an unsatisfied dependency on arm: postgresql-8.0 ** postgresql-8.0-pljava-gcj has an unsatisfied dependency on hppa: postgresql-8.0 ** postgresql-8.0-pljava-gcj has an unsatisfied dependency on i386: postgresql-8.0 ** postgresql-8.0-pljava-gcj has an unsatisfied dependency on ia64: postgresql-8.0 ** postgresql-8.0-pljava-gcj has an unsatisfied dependency on m68k: postgresql-8.0 ** postgresql-8.0-pljava-gcj has an unsatisfied dependency on powerpc: postgresql-8.0 ** postgresql-8.0-pljava-gcj has an unsatisfied dependency on s390: postgresql-8.0 So the only bit that still needs 8.0 is pljava; there is a new upstream version which allegedly works with 8.1, but I was told that it doesn't build with our current gcj. However, I spoke to Peter (pljava maintainer), and he agrees to removing 8.0, and temporarily breaking pljava. Just for the record, we need to keep 7.4 for upgrades from sarge, so we need to have at least two major versions around in the future now. But three is definitively too much.
