Uploaded postgresql 6.2.1-1 (source i386 all) to chiark
OK, here is the postgresql package for the upstream release 6.2.1.
This has been built with libc6, and there seem to be a few problems
as a result. I decided not to try to find and deal with them
immediately, because that would keep the package from being released
for an indefinite time.
Following the bazaar principle, I positively encourage anyone interested
to find the problems and send me patches to fix them. (Hard work
is for the birds...). If you have patches for the upstream code, it may
be better to check the upstream CVS source and see whether it's already
been done; things are still moving fast. I may choose not to apply
such patches, because they may get superseded pretty soon. If they are
up-to-date and valid, you would do better to send them to the upstream
developers; I'm sure they will be grateful!
My next effort will be to sort out the perl package. That was taking a quite
disproportionate amount of effort, since I have never learned Perl in depth
and my only printed documentation is for release 4. Now I have learned
(I hope) how to build a multi-binary package, I shall try to sort it out.
(I left my original efforts in, commented out, so that anyone more expert
can see what I was trying to do.)
I shall leave the newer upstream code alone until the packaging is
definitely correct, or there is an official new upstream release.
See README.debian.bugs for the problems that I know about.
There is an unofficial package of PostgreSQL that has recently been
made by Andreas Arcangeli, which may be found at
ftp://dida43.deis.unibo.it/pub/debian/local/postgresql/
He has taken a rather different approach to the division into
separate packages, but hasn't, I think, paid much attention to the problems
of handling the installation where there is a pre-existing, incompatible
database in existence.

Changes:
postgresql (6.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Set configure to build with locales turned on
* Divided upstream package into postgresql (front-end and back-end),
libpgsql (shared library), libpgtcl, libpgjava, postgresql-dev and
postgresql-doc. There should be a libpgperl, but that is causing me
pain and will have to wait for the next release.
* Initial Release; this package replaces postgres95.
