That seems like an unhelpful attitude. Debian is a mainstream platform, and no doubt feels that they have important reasons for what they are doing. That's not to say that I'm against the patch, but I don't believe it's right to treat the concerns of mainstream Linux distributions in anything less than a serious manner. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
