Re: Success: PostgreSQL 7.1 on MacOS X (Darwin 1.3)

Hi Dieter,

Yes, definitely interested.

What I will do is forward your email to the guys in the PostgreSQL
mailing lists, as it's those guys who would probably make a mirror or
your packages for everyone to use if they like it.

The other thing I can do is make a link to your packages from the
techdocs.postgresql.org website, and I'll also ask you for some
assistance.

Alexander Lohse <al(at)humantouch(dot)de> has put together his notes on
installing PostgreSQL on MacOS X at
http://techdocs.postgresql.org/installguides.html#macosx
If you can work with him on suggestions for expanding, improving, and
updating those notes, that will be a really great contribution.

Thanks heaps for your time and effort Dieter.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
