I'm sure you must be aware of the postgresql packages which I maintain
for Debian. Version 7.4 is packaged and available in experimental and
will soon, I hope, transfer to unstable and thence to testing.

I don't know of any packaging of replication projects. My own
requirements have not so far included replication, and no one else has
requested it either. In addition, upstream packages have been for the
most part commercial until recently. However, I am happy to take on the
task of packaging replication if there is demand for it. I seem to
recall from the PostgreSQL mailing lists that some form of replication
will be in 7.5, and I believe that the upstream developers regard this
as having quite a high priority. However that is probably 9 months off.

If you have made any assessment of different replication projects,
please let me know what you think of them. The one essential for my
packaging any project is that it should be DFSG free.
