Hi
Any news when Postgres 8 will be released?

Also, are there any plans to include Slony with it, as part of the same source download, or as part of a group 'matched' source files/rpms/dpkgs etc?

Thanks All Simon

If things go well, there's a release candidate hoped to be suitable for a Dec 15th date. But releases will _actually_ be ready when they are ready.

That's not the PG Development Group's responsibility; if makers of Linux distributions choose to do so, that's _their_ problem.

It looks as though that will be somewhat hard to do until Slony-I 1.1
gets released, as the 1.0 series isn't readily compilable without having a whole PG source tree around. In 1.1, there are more sophisticated source configuration options that make that particular inconvenience unnecessary.
