Oh? What's their plan for the release after 9.9.9? In practice, non-broken bits of code don't make such an assumption, as there have always been lots of projects with double-digit version components. A quick grep for locally-installed packages finds autoconf-2.53.tar.gz binutils-2.10.1.tar.gz bison-1.875.tar.gz cvs-1.10.7.tar.gz emacs-19.34b.tar.gz expect-5.38.tar.gz gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz gettext-0.11.5.tar.gz ghostscript-6.50.tar.gz lesstif-0.89.9.tar.gz lsof_4.47_W.tar.gz make-3.79.1.tar.gz mysql-3.23.29a-gamma.tar.gz netcat-1.10.tar.gz ntp-4.0.99k.tar.gz procmail-3.22.tar.gz sendmail.8.12.11.tar.gz tar-1.13.tar.gz IMHO trying to avoid double-digit component numbers is just silly. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
