6.4 lateness and CIDR
you're all wrong. 6.4 was late because of me. i didn't know the postgresql
development process or political process, and that combined with some real
life issues made me unresponsive and/or unavailable when d'arcy needed me.
you all have my apologies, and i promise that i will do better next time.
Ummm...why are we rehashing this? Who/why is anyone tryign to assign
blame? It happened...so? Let's avoid it happening again, but I think we
are up to, what, 4 martyrs now? :)

NO !!! NO !!! I AM NOT AGREE !!! THEY MUST BE BAAAaaaDLY PUNISHED !!!
:-)
As a punishment they have to solve that damn problem of missing -lcrypt
in libpgtcl Makefile on RedHat Linux 5.x i386 !!!
I didn't count the number of messages that I received from PgAccess
users claiming that PgAccess + libpgtcl does not recognize the crypt
library! I even made a crypt.txt file that I am attaching to all my
messages regarding this problem :-)

We are all falling on our swords. Better than everyone blaming everyone
else.

I'll blame someone... It was DeJuan's fault. He kept sending irrelivant
e-mail to the HACKERS list to demonstrate his obvious lack of a
personality and sense of humor. He should be flogged.

Yeah, we're all goin' down before this is over :)
I'm not sure how this came up again (besides Bruce wading through 3
month old mail) but this is all old news. Next release won't be the
same, and in hindsight *every* release could be done better.

That was kinda the way I was thinking of it, which is why I was sooooo
confused that we were having to many ppl volunteering to 'fall upon their
trusty swords' :)

If it's any consolation, Marc, I was considering nominating you :)

I was wondering if any one is responsible for making
the RPM for postgresql? "rpm" could be added as a
make target and the sources required to build the
rpm could be added to the CVS repository. In this
way those people who only want binaries could be
better supported.
I don't have a ton of time, but I could do it if
there arn't any other heads available. I'm currently
working on SGML integration and would rather spend
my time there...

That would be great. The RedHat folks are swamped with maintaining
*lots* of packages, and I'm sure it would help if we could do the
maintenance of the rpm for them.
Nobody else has stepped forward for that yet, though it has been a need
for a while. You're welcome to it ;)
Perhaps once the rpm build is codified, it would be easier for others to
help. I've got the rpm book, but have not waded through enough to figure
out how to build a from-scratch installation.

Does this mean that we should consider maintaining other packaging
systems, e.g., the pkg systems used by FreeBSD/NetBSD/... ? I have no
idea if there is interest among the "normal" maintainers of those
things, but I suspect that like all of us they have too many things
going on also.

I'm not certain about all of them, but for example someone (Oliver?)
maintains a Debian package for Postgres. Distribution packages are
always a good idea and helpful to some folks.
We have no normal maintainers in my experience. However, anyone
interested in maintaining packages would be welcome to join us as
another abnormal maintainer :)

I can help in maintaining the RPMs for postgresql. Let me know.
