The trouble with putting it in contrib is that that makes it effectively unavailable to anyone who installs from RPMs, or otherwise doesn't build from source for themselves. Putting a patch diff in contrib is a bad idea anyway since the patch will suffer bit-rot in no time, as the referenced files change. Since the patch is small and doesn't change behavior or performance if you don't enable the feature, I don't think there's a good reason to push it off to contrib just because it's ugly. > The more we discuss it the worse it looks. I still like the other way better --- but I'm still not prepared to do the legwork to make it happen, so I have to defer to whatever Bruce is willing to implement. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
