The contrib hit list
Looking over the thread Josh started a few days ago, it seems there is
consensus to move these contrib modules into separate projects on
pgfoundry.org:
adddepend
dbase
dbmirror
fulltextindex
mSQL-interface
mac
oracle
tips
and to kill these outright:
array
ipc_check
miscutil
mysql
noupdate
pg_dumplo
pg_upgrade
string
tools
tsearch
xml
There was also a suggestion to move findoidjoins to src/tools, since
that's where it really belongs.
Finally, various people have expressed interest in writing replacements
for these:
reindexdb
userlock
If I don't hear any objections, I'll "cvs delete" the candidates for
outright kills in a day or two, and the pgfoundry candidates as soon
as someone moves them over (not being much of a pgfoundry user, I'd
prefer to let someone else set those projects up). I'll move
findoidjoins too.
Anyone want to get to work on replacing reindexdb or userlock? It'd
be real nice to get rid of userlock so that we could have a clean story
on all-BSD-license for 8.1.

Sounds good to me... just wondering where dblink went? Is it going to
remain a part of the dist?
Sorry if this was already answered, I haven't had the time to check the
archive.

dblink stays, and so does anything else I didn't mention.
(There are actually various proposals to do additional things, but
these (a) require actual effort on someone's part and (b) don't
necessarily have consensus.)

Hi Tom,
Anyone want to get to work on replacing reindexdb or userlock?
I'll submit a replacement for reindexdb ASAP.

OK. Note I committed the previously discussed REINDEX DATABASE/SYSTEM
changes yesterday, so you might be able to use that. Also, is it worth
making this an option to vacuumdb instead of a whole separate program?
