Of course. Please note that we never intended to get our patched version into
Debian.

Borland is a company. PostgreSQL is a community. I hope you prefer PostgreSQL
to Borland. Therefore, 2.6 cannot be frozen before it incorporates Andreas
Pflug patches, which will probably be the case sooner or later.

We do not intend to fork wx and never will.

Let's wait for wxWindows to manage Unicode and aother issues. All patches are
available for inclusion into wx main branch:

http://snake.pgadmin.org/snapshots/wxwindows/patches/

The goal of Debian is to be a world distribution. We all have the same goals:
proper Unicode management, working Cut/Paste, etc... For example, work is
being done by the wx team on RTL better support. Everyone is working in the
same direction, there is no idea of a "fork" and we never intended so.

But, only one thing : please, publish wx26, poEdit and pgAdmin3 in Debian at
the same time. Everyone will benefit from it.

Best regards,
Jean-Michel
