Hi Marc,
I always seem to get problems checking out the
earthdistance contrib
module from CVS. Tom mentioned in the past that this was
because you
had experimented with it when trying to split the repository.
I can get at it if I checkout pgsql vs. pgsql-server (or
vice-versa,
I forget which), but as this module is also missing from
cvsweb, it
would be good if you could fix it. Please :-)
Unfortunately, to 'fix it', I'm not sure of the risks,
since it causes
some major headaches when i pulled it out in the first place :(  If
nothing else, should probably wait until *after* the release, not
middle of beta ...
This just a CVS checkout issue.  It shouldn't affect the
actual CVS files.  I think it has been pushed off too long
that we should just do it now.  How many years must it be broken?
Which reminds me of why I reported it in the first place - I already get
errors about it being missing. I'm not sure things could get much worse!
If I correctly remember the issue, if I merge earthdistance back into the 
main source tree (which is a simple mv operation and cvs update on the 
modules file), it will potentially break everyone's currently checked out 
CVS source, since the 'paths' will change in the CVS/Root file ...

I'm willing to do it, since all the work I generally do, I do with a fresh 
check out ...

Am CC'ng in -hackers, as they will potentially be *the most* affected by 
doing this ...
