Exactly --- I do not care the SCM system though. :) > I'm not convinced of the merit of that plan, but that's an alternative > interpretation that doesn't involve our beloved pgfoundry. :) For example, xlogdump had not been maintained for 5 years when I picked it up last year. And the latest pg_filedump that supports 9.2 has not been released yet. pg_reorg as well. If those tools are in a single project, it would be easier to keep attention on it. Then, developers can easily build *all of them* at once, fix them, and post any patch on the single mailing list. Actually, it would save developers from waisting their time. >From my viewpoint, it's not just a SCM or distributing issue.
