MacOS X
Hi,
I'm sorry if this is yet another instance of an ever repeating question. I
searched the archives and FAQs but couldn't find an answer.
Is a port of PostgreSQL planned for MacOS X? It is based on BSD, so it
shouldn't be that hard...
We are looking for a cross-platform database to use for our configuration
management system for VisualWorks Smalltalk. PostgreSQL is a perfect option
as it support Solaris, Linux and Windows, and a VisualWorks connection
exists. If only the Mac was supported... I know we can set up a PostgreSQL
server on an already supported machine and connect from any client, also a
Mac, and that is what we will do in the beginning. But our Mac people would
like to be able to work standalone as well.
Thanks for any answers,
Sander

We have reports from Apple that PG current sources work on OS X current
sources, ie, 7.1 release should work on OS X release. IIRC, PG will not
work on the existing "public beta" of OS X. See past traffic about
"Darwin" on pg-ports and/or pg-hackers if you want details.
