There is a postgresql-devel port in FreeBSD now that I am maintaining
that is where DBAs and anxious developers can cut their teeth on the
new features/bugs/interactions in PostgreSQL. As soon as we get out
of beta here, I'm going to likely get in the habbit of updating the
port once a month or so with snapshots from the tree.
FWIW, at some point I'm going to SPAM the CVS tree with a
POSTGRESQL_PORT tunable that will let users decide which PostgreSQL
instance they want (stable version vs -devel). I've been really busy
recently and haven't gotten around to double checking things since I
made the changes a month ago during the freeze. Maybe this weekend
I'll get around to touching down on all of the various files.... no
promises, I'm getting ready to move. -sc
