The FreeBSD project has an excellent resolution system for dealing with problems like this, yet you didn't seem to use it. I originally helped the port maintainer with the postgres95 port, and it worked perfectly on several systems, including -stable and -current. I can only assume that you didn't bring your concerns to the port maintainer. I will take a look at your port, but I won't be committing it into the repository over the old one. I suggest that you work with the current maintainer (matt@bdd.net) instead of just taking a 'I can do it better attitude' to fixing problems. If everyone did that, we'd have another OpenBSD on our hands. 8-) -- j. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | James FitzGibbon james@nexis.net | | Integrator, The Nexis Group Voice/Fax : 416 410-0100 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
