I think we should see postgres split into client and server packages; perhaps there's a similar split for the Apache dependency. - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
