The alternatives are 1. rely on the dead code we've been using so far (the old BSD indent patched with our Pg-specific tweaks), or 2. rely on someone else's upstream code -- in this case, FreeBSD's as patched by Piotr. Now that Piotr's is about to find a home, perhaps it's okay for us to rely on that one. I just didn't like the idea of running something from Piotr's personal repo. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
