Actually, the last time I looked seriously at cvsup, my requirement was that it build on HPUX, which it did not (well, maybe it would've with sufficient investment of pain, but that wasn't happening). I was about to take another look at whether I couldn't just-install-it on FC4, but my main FC4 machine is now x86_64, so your remarks are discouraging me again :-( This whole discussion reminds me why we've stuck so fervently to bog-standard ANSI C for Postgres. There is a payoff for taking portability seriously. Too bad the original authors of cvsup were more interested in using a flavor-of-the-month programming language... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
