Обсуждение: Which perl5 Pg to use? Who maintains it?

Hi!

There seems to be some confusion (at least I am confused :) as to which 
copy of the perl5 postgresql module `Pg' is most up-to-date. There is one 
distributed with the postgresql source, and another one at CPAN, and they 
seem to have been developed in parallell? postgresql seems to version 1.8.0 
from CPAN, with local modifications, and there is a 1.9.0 at CPAN.

Maybe someone can shed some light on this? As postgres code is in freeze 
now, will the version on CPAN synchronize?

Thanks for you time!

Edmund Mergl doesn't talk to us much :-(

We are not holding up 7.2 release to make that happen.  It'd be good if
Mergl sent us some updates, but at this point they'd be going into 7.3.

Well, I really ment the other way around; that the version on CPAN should 
synchronize. The 1.9.0 (on CPAN) is from Apr 2000, and I honestly think the 
postgresql version is more fresh and up-to-date, but there are no cvs 
comments in the postgresql repository about "importing 1.9.0"...

Well, they're free to fetch on CPAN, but as I said, I believe they're more 
out-of-date than the stuff in src/interfaces/perl5. Bruce has touched most 
of the files there within the last six months.
