Yup, I'm wondering about it as well. Surely if it's an open source project, people are going to have a database setup to run the thing with anyway--if only to test it? For build/test farms it's going to make it a bit more complex yes, but wouldn't it be easier to configure each machine separately (or write a set of scripts to do the common setup if you have 20+ test boxes!) than to bake in a large set of assumptions into your test scripts? -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
