Hi there, |

|
| 3 |
For the longest time I've had PostgreSQL server installed on one of my |
| 4 |
systems. I update world every month or two and today `emerge -upv |
| 5 |
world` shows this blocker: |

Is anyone else seeing this, please? |

It looks like I need to unmerge dev-db/postgresql (I'm currently |
| 75 |
running 8.1.11) and emerge dev-db/postgresql-server, instead. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
But I'm running x86 (NOT ~x86), and all versions of postgresql-server |
| 78 |
are marked with a ~. |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
I'm guessing from the date on Mr Lauer's masking above that if I sync |
| 81 |
in a day's time then my major version (at least) of postgresql-server |
| 82 |
will be marked as stable, however I'm extremely wary because my long |
| 83 |
update period has ensured that I've never before seen a blocker which |
| 84 |
has not already been discussed on this list. |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
I would be grateful for any thoughts or comments, |
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
Stroller. |
