1. references to packaged versions of PostgreSQL

   In light of the recent inquiry about postgresql RPMs, it might make
   sense to have on our web page some references to packaged up versions
   (or other means of easily installing postgresql) for specific
   operating systems.  As an effort to start that, here are some relevant
   URLs pointing to the NetBSD package system for postgresql (and some
   more general ones).  Note that even though the package page is
   retrievable via ftp it is a browsable page.
   
   	 NetBSD PostgreSQL package	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/databases/postgresql/README.html
   	 NetBSD home page		http://www.netbsd.org
   	 NetBSD packages information	http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html
   
   Perhaps a page that went something like the following would be useful.
   It could be filled in with relevant entries as we become aware of
   them, and might point people to relatively easy installation pathways
   if they need it.
   
   Cheers,
   Brook

   Several packages for PostgreSQL have been created to ease the process
   of installing the system under specific operating systems.  See the
   following documents for more information.
   
   Operating system	Package name
   ----------------        ------------
   NetBSD <ref URL>	databases/postgresql <ref URL>

   Looks great! I'll have a go at it tonight.
   Objections, comments, anyone?
