The code is here: https://github.com/gsstark/retropg The build script is called "makeall" and it applies patches from the "old-postgres-fixes" directory though some of the smarts are in the script because it knows about how to run older version of the configure script and it tries to fix up the ecpg parser duplcate tokens separately. It saves a diff after applying the patches and other fixups into the "net-diffs" directory but I've never checked if those diffs would work cleanly on their own. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
