Just a thought, and I've included chris in this ... is there some way of setting up maybe a 'meta package' on Gborg that would auto-pull in and package stuff like this? For instance, in FreeBSD ports, you can make such that when you type in 'make', it just goes to other ports and builds/installs those ... Baring that, how about the ability to create a new category that is maintained by someone that various project maintains could 'cross-link' their projects into? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
