Hi Christopher...

Will older versions of Postgres continue to be supported by Slony?

Until we have compelling reason to break off compatibility.

I'd like to drop 7.3, as its namespace handling and name quoting
handling is too often painfully different from the later releases.  But
nothing has been *so* compelling as to make it really worthwhile to do so.

Thanks for the reply. The reason I ask is because the packaged version of Postgres on the currently stable Debian release (Sarge Debian 1:3.3.5-12) is version 7.4.7. It is possible to run a newer Postgres on Sarge of course, but doing so can complicate maintenance and future upgrads of the operating system. Debian is pretty popular due to its stability, which of course often leave it a bit behind the curve.

Is supporting all the 7.x series releases difficult, or just 7.3.x?

Thanks...

Jim
