But Stephen Frost and Peter Eisentraut as well as others seem to be suggesting that Debian default is sane. I've forwarded this thread to Debian as a bug report. Their answer is they will discuss this setting again when 8.2 comes out. The full answer is here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=342369 The bug has been closed on Peter's advice.

However, choosing that option means that Debian is saying that compatibility of data files with default compiled PostgreSQL is not one of its primary concerns, which is a reasonable statement, but it's still not the community's problem when people can't move data to it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
