People don't see it as an integrated package as those items simply do not exist within the postgresql.org realm. Goto postgresql.org and it takes a fair amount of work to find pgadmin (downloads -- but you still don't know what it is), GIS, or others. Contrast to Gnome, which many consider integrated despite being equally small packages that make individual releases. - Single FTP Site with all tarballs coinciding with recent release -- they're all individual, but it is a complete set of official packages - Single place to report a bug - Single location to find out about releases - Consolidated release notes for all the most recent release of sub-components - Single source repository - Package system (FreeBSD anyway) has packages like 'gnome2', 'gnome2-lite', 'gnome2-power-tools', 'gnome-fifth-toe' which are empty packages with plenty of dependencies (those in the know can install individial components -- those who don't know get a functional desktop with some things they may not use installed) PostgreSQL currently looks like a tiny core with many 3rd party addons, which is true, but with a little elbow grease could be a tiny core with many 1st party addons. projects.postgresql.org is a big step in the right direction but more integration (in particular getting the core into that system) is important. Is there anyway I can help get project.postgresql.org running? -- Rod Taylor <rbt [at] rbt [dot] ca> Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL PGP Key: http://www.rbt.ca/signature.asc
