Anyway just because it's not marked "stable" does not mean it isn't. It's very unfortunate that distributions have adopted these terms because more often than not they have absolutely nothing to do with the *runtime* stability of the software. > Another question would be does anybody know of any instability of > postgresql 8.1 unstable for gentoo x86? ~x86 works just fine. How could it not? It's just the same as compiling yourself - which is considered to be acceptable, if not good, practice on all other platforms and distributions too. If a particular build would be totally broken/untested/known to eat your soul it would be hardmasked. -h
