  1. 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.

    I'm not sure what's in the RPM (I run NetBSD) but the PostgreSQL sources
    for PyGreSQL are the horse's mouth.  The official development tree moved
    into PygreSQL about a month ago.
