Hi,
I'd be interested too if SuSE is planning anything in this direction. An upgrade to Postgres 7.3 would definietly be benefitical for probably most users. [....own stuff deleted...]
Well, once again SuSE provides the goods :-)

So far so good. About to do some testing now. (I am wondering why there is no longer a postgresql-plperl package??) For those of you who are not using apt-get (probably most of you as it doesn't come with SuSE and isn't supported and isn't recommended unless you know exactly what you are doing :-) you should be able to find the rpms in one of the subdirs of the people directory on ftp.suse.com (I don't know which one because the rpm does not list the packager)
I will let you all know how my testing goes.
That'd be cool! I never thought about using apt-get with SuSE. Figured it's Debian specific.... I was mad enough when SuSE 'own' YOU messed up 3 of my systems - ever since I was using fou4s. But the idea of getting apt-get to work sounds very intriguing to me ;-) What really bugs me is that obviously there is plenty recent versions of popular server software on SuSE or related FTP sites but I never seem to be able to get information about it on so collaed 'official' SuSE channels.
