Postgres 8 and Slony-1

Centuries ago, Nostradamus foresaw when simon.windsor@cornfield.org.uk (Simon Windsor) would write:

Any news when Postgres 8 will be released?

If things go well, there's a release candidate hoped to be suitable
for a Dec 15th date. But releases will _actually_ be ready when they
are ready.

Also, are there any plans to include Slony with it, as part of the
same source download, or as part of a group 'matched' source
files/rpms/dpkgs etc?

That's not the PG Development Group's responsibility; if makers of
Linux distributions choose to do so, that's _their_ problem.

It looks as though that will be somewhat hard to do until Slony-I 1.1
gets released, as the 1.0 series isn't readily compilable without
having a whole PG source tree around. In 1.1, there are more
sophisticated source configuration options that make that particular
inconvenience unnecessary.

"They're deleting the word `gullible' from modern dictionaries,
presumably because it's too difficult a concept for the modern man or
woman to understand."
