Hello, list. |

I'm setting up a pgpool-II cluster (made an ebuild, available at |
| 4 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196300) of postgresql servers, |
| 5 |
and when I looked for the available versions on portage, I was kinda |
| 6 |
astonished to see version 8.0.13 marked as stable, and both 8.1.9 and |
| 7 |
8.2.4 marked as unstable. |
| 8 |
The 8.0 tree is from 2004, 8.1 tree from 2005, and 8.2 was first |
| 9 |
released on 2006, almost one year ago. |
| 10 |
I exchanged a few emails with a postgresql developer, and he told me |
| 11 |
that I should go with the 8.2 tree. |
| 12 |
The developer stated clearly that there is no reason to stick to 8.0, |
| 13 |
and the benefits of 8.2 (improvements, bugfixes, etc) were way too |
| 14 |
many. |
| 15 |
So, I was asking myself how is the process of making one package going |
| 16 |
from unstable to stable on Gentoo. |
| 17 |
In fact, when I told him my distro's stable version was 8.0.13, he |
| 18 |
asked if I was running Debian :) |
