Slony-I involves no backend integration that I've seen in its docs ... Jan? Did I miss something? As far as stuff like autovacuum, though ... its something that could definitely benefit from a seperate release cycle from the main code ... Has anyone looked at developing an Installer/packaging system so that as far as the code is concerned, thing are seperate projects, but for the end user ... The thing is, for how many ppl are seperate packages difficult? I know for me, under FreeBSD, I cd to a /usr/ports/databases/pg_autovacuum and type 'make install' and its done ... I thought that stuff like Redhat had the full screen installer that lists things? My point is that all of this stuff shouldn't be in the core CVS ... its a packaging issue, not a cvs one ... ---- Marc G.
