If I correctly remember the issue, if I merge earthdistance back into the main source tree (which is a simple mv operation and cvs update on the modules file), it will potentially break everyone's currently checked out CVS source, since the 'paths' will change in the CVS/Root file ... I'm willing to do it, since all the work I generally do, I do with a fresh check out ... Am CC'ng in -hackers, as they will potentially be *the most* affected by doing this ... ---- Marc G.

This whole thing has been a mess that has been dragging on for too long. I suggest that after the release we make a clean break and put things back the way they were before (that is, one single pgsql module). -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

Agreed, but Bruce is calling for this *during* beta, which I'm not comfortable with ... if anyone else wants to agree with Bruce, I'll do it, as I know it won't affect me ... ---- Marc G.

Beta is a better time to require a cvs fresh checkout than during development. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
