Yes, they should be ... maintaining sources in two places would be 'nightmarish' *and* at least GBorg will give a maintainer the ability to add other developers to have CVS access as well, or transferrign maintainership over to someone else ...

OK, so create gborg projects for all interfaces, and allow them to release independently. I think we have agreement on that. It can only be a win. That also gives us a mailing list and bug tracking for each interface, which is nice. I think the only unknown is whether their CVS's should be moved out of the main tree. -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup.| Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

Note: I'm happy enough seeing ppl starting to consider moving this stuff over to GBorg, I, by no means, expect everything to go overnight, or even before v7.3 ...

The fact that it is new is a strike against it, and the fact that it is not integrated is a bigger strike against it. I think we should move out libpqxx and libpq++ now, and also perl5 if we are going to put DBD::Pg on gborg rather than in the main distro. We want to ensure there is a level playing field for libpqxx and DBD::Pg. jdbc and odbc should be moved if and only if their maintainers want it.

OK, I am ready to do the work, but I would like to get a plan of where we are going. I see in interfaces: cli ecpg jdbc libpgeasy libpgtcl libpq libpq++ libpqxx odbc perl5 python and we have Pg:DBD waiting to be added. Now, I know one of Marc's goals is to have libpq as a stand-alone tarball, but I thought we decided that this _didn't_ require it to be in a separate CVS repository. If we split these up based on activity, we have, in decreasing activity order: jdbc odbc libpq libpqxx cli ecpg libpq++ libpgtcl python libpgeasy Pg:DBD perl5 We already have separate web sites for jdbc and odbc, and they are in our main CVS. What goals do we have? Do we create gborg accounts for all/most of these so releases can be made independently of the main server? Do we move their CVS out of the main tree too? I don't think we should judge libpqxx differently than the other interfaces just because it is new. We should find a consistent solution and apply that to all of these interfaces. Let me add that odbc and jdbc have successfully made releases independent of our server for over a year now. I wonder if the best solution is to create gborg accounts for every interface and keep them in our main CVS, and do independent releases from there. Should we point to jdbc/odbc.postgresql.org from gborg? -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup.| Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
