Обсуждение: FreeBSD PostgreSQL7 port and v7.0.2
Hi: First, is there a (free) version of JSQL available for Postgresql 7? Can anyone direct me to a vendor/website/documentation? *************************************************************** I am running FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE (i386). I want to install PostgreSQL v7.0.2 but the port maintainer is unable to update it (he writes: "I'm busy until 2000/06/27 because of CCIE certification.") The current FreeBSD port is: v7.0.0. The changes to the alter the Postgresql v7.0.0 FreeBSD port to install v7.0.2 instead would appear to be trivial but, having never done this before, I just wanted to check. 1. I changes all references of "7.0.0" to "7.0.2" in the Makefile 2. I changed the MD5 file to reflect the MD5 checksums for 7.0.2 Is there anything else that I need to do or be aware of before making the port? (Frankly, I would be surprised if there is any need to change the v7.0.0 patches to make v7.0.2 work under FreeBSD.) * * * NOTE * * * I have been told that I should double check the list of files in the distribution as the PLIST file in the port needs this. I know that some files were missing in 7.0.1 BUT THAT IS INCONSEQUENTIAL in my case since I am working off 7.0.0 port files. Were there any changes in the list of files between the 7.0.0 distribution and the 7.0.1 distribution? (additions and deletions ONLY, not changes within the files) ALSO NOTE: I don't blame the port maintainer for not having the time to do the update. While the changes appear simple, I'm sure that the requiste testing requires a block of time that he doesn't have at this time. I just can't wait for three weeks or more to install PostgreSQL7, and I would like the latest version.

I want to install PostgreSQL v7.0.2 but the FreeBSD port maintainer is unable to update it (he writes: "I'm busy until 2000/06/27 because of CCIE certification.") The current port version on FreeBSD is **v7.0.0** The changes to the needed to alter FreeBSD's port (Makefile, patches, etc.) of Postgresql v7.0.0 port to install v7.0.2 instead, would appear to be trivial but, having never done this before, I just wanted to check. 1.

I realize that v7.0.1 was missing some files but that is inconsequential as I am working off the v7.0.0 port files.
