I seem to recall that your not > tracking the CVS (which you shouldn't). Wrong -- Don is one of the core (or lead) developers porting the ArsDigita Community System from Oracle to PostgreSQL -- and in order to do this he has indeed been tracking the CVS -- and in fact he is running the pre-beta PostgreSQL 7 right now on a site with the pre-pre-beta ACS port to PostgreSQL running on the beta AOLserver 3.0. He also is a major maintainer of the AOLserver driver for postgresql -- which could be directly impacted by these changes. So, even though Don hasn't been a heavy contributor here as yet, I believe that he has a right to let his position be known -- although a little more gently, perhaps. Why does he need to do this? Two words: Referential Integrity, which is heavily used by the ACS. I also track the current CVS -- but for a totally different reason, as I want to be able to release RPMs of the beta release the same day as the beta release -- thus, I am doing trial builds of RPM's against the CVS. However, this current issue doesn't impact me in the slightest -- which is why I have not and will not say anything about it. ===
