The problem only exists because upgrading is not an option. There are lots of people *wanting* to stick with Postgres 8.2 for good reasons. As long as you don't see and accept that as a problem, we keep talking across each other. > pitti has made it clear that he can't reasonably support pg8.2 himself > side-a-side for lenny.

My offer is to support Postgres 8.2 even for etch, as a kind of a "backport" (not in the sense of a Debian-backports.org-backport, but a backport of "newer" software to Debian etch). If that easily gives us Postgres 8.2 for lenny as well, even better! I probably want Postgres 8.2 also for lenny, as soon as that becomes stable. To help others in the same situation, I would like to offer these packages via some half-ways official channel. That turned out to be harder than I thought. >> So far I've only read that you don't like what's proposed, but I'm >> missing any kind of a proposal for a solution of the problem. > > So far I've only read that you don't like what's proposed, but I'm > missing any kind of a proposal from you for a solution of the problem. Obviously we are talking about different problems. I'm talking about making Postgres 8.2 available for etch, because that's what I need. I am providing a solution to that problem in form of a custom repository on www.bluegap.ch/debian. Regards Markus Wanner
