The problem has to do with how the *source* packages are divided up, and the rule is you want to build the source packages in a particular sequence without any circular dependencies. How many RPMs/DEBs/whatevers come out of a particular source package really doesn't affect this. The proposal on the table is to bundle plPHP into the Postgres source package, and the problem is that that introduces a circular dependency at build time because PHP already made a similar bundling. That was a bad move on their part and we shouldn't compound the problem by making a similar error. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
