Note that we can always use more people to help Debian, too. If you feel Debian is too slow uploading new pg versions [1]: perhaps you can change this by helping Martin preparing and testing new packages. Packaging stuff for Debian is not magic, it's just Makefiles, Perl/shell scripts and stuff like this. (And I, too, like the parallel installation of different pg versions and was very much missing it when I was forced to work on SuSE for some business stuff...) cheers -- vbi [1] (you did look at "unstable" and "experimental"?
