I really need it here too. I even sent an e-mail message to Emanuele Pucciarelli (who's listed as the previous maintainer) saying I'd be willing to take it over. Of course, I'd rather not do that, since it's a pretty large package, and would take quite a bit of effort. PostgreSQL 6.1 should be coming out in a few days. It looks good. :-) Cheers, - Jim
