PostgreSQL 8.4.1 backport

FYI, I maintain a stable backports repository for PostgreSQL: https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive/postgresql

I promise that this won't ever get crack or untested stuff.

However, it's probably still worthwhile to have an "official" backport, since other people are going to need this as well. Waiting for -backporters ack before upload, though.

To clarify that, this means "for stable postgresql versions". I will upload alphas and betas of new major versions, but that won't affect upgrades. You have to explicitly install them, since they have different package names.

No need to do this on my account - looks like for Launchpad we will need 8.4.2 (we are triggering a bug in 8.4.1, now fixed upstream).

Ack from ubuntu-backporters for whatever Pitti thinks is best.

I would like to see Intrepid covered too so there is a smooth upgrade path for Hardy -> Intrepid -> Jaunty -> Karmic.

Let's skip intrepid. If you come from Hardy's backoprted packages, you can upgrade through intrepid to jaunty to karmic without a problem due to the way the postgresql packages are organized.

With Karmic being released I also think that the jaunty backport isn't urgent any more. There's still my PPA, too.

Scott, are you fine with delegating me backport ack power for postgresql-*? I deliberately keep the packages backportable (many people ask for them), and I can test them pretty easily (with my chroots and my test suite arsenal).

Will do the backports in a couple of days when the karmic release DOS has settled a bit.

Is there any reason the hardy packages haven't been published yet?

Sorry, they were stuck in the NEW queue. Processed now.
