I, for one, do use alpha tarballs on my dev machines (when working on apps that use PostgreSQL). It gives me a concrete schedule to update them that's not too frequent and I can tell whether they need updating just by glancing at the version string. If I was using git, I'd probably have some machines lagging hopelessly behind and always confused about which version is which. I also maintain an Arch Linux community package for testing versions, that has at least one other user: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31562 But it's probably not worth releasing alphas for us two alone. :) Regards, Marti -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
