I want to install PostgreSQL v7.0.2 but the port maintainer is unable to update it (he writes: "I'm busy until 2000/06/27 because of CCIE certification.") The changes to the port from v7.0.0 to 7.0.2 would appear to be trivial but, having never done this before, I just wanted to check. 1. I changes all references of 7.0.0 to 7.0.2 2. I changed the MD5 file to reflect the MD5 checksums for 7.0.2 Is there anything else that I need to do or be aware of before making the port? (Frankly, I would be surprised if there is any need to change the v7.0.0 patches to make v7.0.2 work under FreeBSD.) NOTE: I don't blame the port maintainer for not having the time to do the update. While the changes appear simple, I'm sure that the requiste testing requires a block of time that he doesn't have at this time. I just can't wait for three weeks or more to install PostgreSQL7, and I would like the latest version.
