[HEADS UP] databases/postgresql72 slated for removal

[Ade Lovett]

All,

As part of some major reworking of the postgresql ports, 
databases/postgresql72 is now slated for termination "Real Soon Now".

Currently, the only consumer of 7.2.x in the ports/ tree is FreePascal 
version 1.0.10 (lang/fpc-base is the meta-port).  Maintainer has been 
contacted by the postgresql maintainer with no response, and there is 
also an fpc-devel (relating to the newer betas moving towards 2.0) so I 
don't expect this to be a problem.

As it stands right now, however, with postgresql72 being removed from 
the tree, lang/fpc-base and associated ports will be tagged as BROKEN 
for a fairly short period before removal.

If there are any FreePascal 1.0.10 users out there, now would be a 
REALLY GOOD time to either move to fpc-devel, or rip 
databases/fpc-postgresql to pieces, making it work with either 
postgresql 7.3.x or 7.4.x (or even 8.0.x if you want to be scary :)
