Ooops, didn't mean to start a which-hunt. To be fair, I e-mailed Denis about the project before it came up here, and he didn't respond (still hasn't). The current pgFoundry project is fine if this is going to be some proprietary code which EDB is going to drop on the community. However, that runs a significant risk of major design issues which will cause the project to never be used, and to be replaced with something else. Even the name of the pgFoundry project, as proposed, pretty much prohibits serious contributions from anyone else: it's "EnterpriseDB Migrator", not "pg_upgrade". So I think the thing to decide is whether this is EDB freeware or a real community OSS effort. I think that we'll be happy to have either, but right now it's in some grey area. --Josh Berkus ---------------------------(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 ---------------------------(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
