Empathize is appropriate if you've been there. But, it's better than
going six months to a year for a newer RPM -- the release lag was one
ofthe two triggers that caused me to go do this -- the other was the
upgrading issue. I won't say any more about that right now --too tired.

We'll see what transpires.

Hmmm.. lessee... I have Bruce's reply, which includes your message in
its entirety, I think. But, just to be safe, resend directly to me, and
add the [HACKERS] part to the subject (so it will go to the correct mail
folder, otherwise I might miss it). I have a list of messages in an
'RPMS for 7.1' subfolder of my mail folder 'Postgres' that I work
through for each release.
