Palle and I have turned this discussion over a few times now. What we concluded was that it'd be handy to have, but that the place to attack this problem would be on the PostgreSQL side of things and see if we can't work with the PostgreSQL developers to get them to assist in splitting up the tarballs or the distributions/targets so that it's easier to handle for everyone, not just FreeBSD. ... then again, why would I want to help make things easier for the Linux folk? ::grin:: How's this for a response: it sounds like a good idea to me, but neither Palle or I have done it yet since we haven't figured out what the best way to do it is. -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
