A new animal, because we're not supporting every build option. On the non-live branches you really only want: --enable-debug --enable-cassert --enable-nls --enable-tap-tests --with-perl You can make it share the same storage as your existing animal (godwit and crake do this). The client is smart enough to manage locks of several animals appropriately. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
