Thanks for your support, John. Maintaining this package is a big
challenge at times, but it is very satisfying when I finally get it
right. The RPM packager has had to give up altogether on automatic
upgrading.
This particular transition (7.2.3 to 7.3) has been a major effort and
I'm sorry that a lot of people have been hit by bugs in it. I hope
we're just about done with them now, with 7.3rel-7.
Let me again invite people who want to assist with testing and
developing postgresql's packaging to subscribe to
debian-postgresql@atnet.at and announce yourselves (subscribe at
https://mailman.atnet.at/mailman/listinfo/debian-postgresql)
Someone suggested I include debian-mentors in the appeal, which was a
good idea, so if there are any new or would-be maintainers who would
like to get involved with a rather complex package, here's an
opportunity.
