FWIW, there are debian provided postgresql-8.0 packages in experimental,
but not for AMD64.  You may want to grab their source from the main
archive and try to build them, perhaps.

I'm using them on one production box running sarge without issues.
YMMV, obviously.

postgresql-8.0 is in our experimental archive.  8.0.2-1 was it in
a week ago, 8.0.3-1 was build an uploaded yesterday.

If your hardware is a bit more pedestrian, I'd not expect many problems.
 

Just a quick follow-up. After struggling a bit to get the Dell Perc 4e 
(LSI megaraid) recognised by the installer, and get grub to install onto 
one of the SCSI drives, postgresql 8 compiled without a hitch and runs 
fine. I will be doing some serious populating later and see how things 
hold up.

Your analysis was bang on. Sort the hardware out and the rest will follow!
Thanks.
Koen.

Hi,
I'm putting a dual opteron box together and I will be installing 
postgresql 8 on it. Has anyone here compiled this, and is there anything 
in particular I should look out for?

Thanks in advance,
Koen.
