Maybe it makes sense to have a distinction between client programs and server programs. Can we have src/sbin/ and move stuff that involves the server side in there? I think that'd be pg_xlogdump, pg_archivecleanup, pg_upgrade, pg_test_timing, pg_test_fsync. (If we were feeling bold we could also move pg_resetxlog, pg_controldata and initdb there.) (For pg_upgrade you also need to do something about pg_upgrade_support, which is good because that is one very ugly crock.) I agree that oid2name and vacuumlo need to be in a better state to deserve their promotion to src/bin, if we keep them at all. In any case I support the move out of contrib of everything except vacuumlo and oid2name, for reasons already stated by others in the thread. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
