I have therefore removed the binary packages from freefall. The actual sources still require far too much manual intervention to build all the way through, and thus will not be appearing in /usr/ports as a replacement for ingres anytime soon, either. I'm afraid that those wishing to get awhile ahold of postgres for FreeBSD will simply have to wait, or contact Clarence directly for his diffs (Clarence.Chu@f132.n700.z6.ftn.air.org). I'll try to revisit this whole issue again in about 6 months, after FreeBSD 2.0 is well underway, if Clarence is still interested. It's just too big a thing to take on at the moment! Jordan
