Basically there isn't much extra work to go from 8.3 to 8.4 compared to 8.3 to 8.5. Now, if could support only 8.4 to 8.5 I could remove some code, but that seems counterproductive. The other problem with moving to /contrib is that I can't put out pg_migrator updates independently of the main community release, which could be bad. I am glad some people think pg_migrator is ready for /contrib. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
