It seemed to work alright except for shoe-horning in Postgresql-9.1. I am sure it is more trouble than it is worth to do this for production. I am planning to do something like that again working from an alpha of EG on the Ubuntu 12.03 LTS Alpha Flight. It remains to be seen if I can do it, but at least working toward the next LTS version, I will not be doing something totally useless. -- This Apt Has Super Cow Powers - http://sourcefreedom.com Advancing Libraries Together - http://LYRASIS.org
