 Hi,
 
 Just a quick question.  Do I need to do an initdb to upgrade a cluster from 
 v8.0rc5 to v8.0.1 or can I just do a make install.

Uh, from that RC, no, I don't think so, but not all RC releases can do
that, and we don't track when we require initdb during RC, so yea I
would do the initdb just in case.

If the new postmaster will start, you don't need initdb.  The
catversion.h CVS history would tell you ...
