No I haven't, nor do I have any desire to. Aside from the fact that I
was using that only as an example, seeing comments like:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg00281.php and
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg00310.php is
enough to put anyone off (or probably should be).
As it happens the one I was thinking of was a patch to the Kerberos auth
code, which even Tom was unsure of for at least a while from what I
recall. If he is unsure about such a 'trivial' patch, then the vast
majority of the rest of us probably should be as well.
I shall stick to building my own packages for all distros thank you.
Regards, Dave.
