I don't think you should distribute the files in the binary format at all as you'd have to require a pg_restore which is able to restore the files from pg_dump in the version you've used to package it - so while it might be possible that the ascii version just works well for older postgres versions, you might end up with needed pg_restore form 9.x just becuase you dumped it with it. -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
