[Pljava-dev] Plea for 8.4 support

Hi Lucas,

Awesome! I didn't realise you were still using pljava.

Do the normal main stream deb packages do other configuration of
postgres? Can we propose these packages get pushed into the Ubuntu
repositories?

Cheers

Pete

P.S. Bounty will be in the post shortly! ;-)

Resources are often a problem with smaller open source projects. What sort of funding do you think is required to get PG8.4 support? Are you (or any other developer of this list) in a position to implement this for a bounty?
