Tom mentioned in the past that this was because you had experimented with it when trying to split the repository. I can get at it if I checkout pgsql vs. pgsql-server (or vice-versa, I forget which), but as this module is also missing from cvsweb, it would be good if you could fix it. Please :-) Unfortunately, to 'fix it', I'm not sure of the risks, since it causes some major headaches when i pulled it out in the first place :( If nothing else, should probably wait until *after* the release, not middle of beta ... This just a CVS checkout issue. It shouldn't affect the actual CVS files. I think it has been pushed off too long that we should just do it now. How many years must it be broken? Which reminds me of why I reported it in the first place - I already get errors about it being missing. I'm not sure things could get much worse! If I correctly remember the issue, if I merge earthdistance back into the main source tree (which is a simple mv operation and cvs update on the modules file), it will potentially break everyone's currently checked out CVS source, since the 'paths' will change in the CVS/Root file ... I'm willing to do it, since all the work I generally do, I do with a fresh check out ... Am CC'ng in -hackers, as they will potentially be *the most* affected by doing this ... Marc G.

I trust those of us using CVSup will see the right thing, if we pick up the new CVSROOT/modules file? cheers andrew Marc G. Fournier wrote: On Mon, 4 Oct 2004, Tom Lane wrote: Marc G.
