postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz != postgresql-7.0.3-2.src.rpm

Hello all, I'm cc'ing the pgsql-bugs address, since I'm starting to think it's their problem. It appears that the folks at www.postgresql.org don't know about pgdb.py either. Or, rather, not consistently. Apparently, the 7.0.3-2 source tarball doesn't equal the 7.0.3-2 source RPM. I just downloaded the latest PostgreSQL source RPM (7.0.3-2) from www.postgresql.org and rebuilt everything. (From that source, it built 10 binary RPM's: the client, server, development stuff, perl, python, tcl and tk, test, odbc, and jdbc packages.) When finished, I ended up with exactly what I had before: pgsqldb.py et al. No pgdb.py. On Thu, 12 Apr 2001, D'Arcy J.M. Cain wrote: > Thus spake Kevin Cole > > Nope.

It will just build it with the latest version. -- Kevin Cole, RHCE, Linux Admin | E-mail: kjcole@gri.gallaudet.edu Gallaudet Research Institute | WWW: http://gri.gallaudet.edu/~kjcole/ Hall Memorial Bldg S-419 | Voice: (202) 651-5135 Washington, D.C. 20002-3695 | FAX: (202) 651-5746

The official development tree moved into PygreSQL about a month ago. -- D'Arcy J.M.
