Update postgresql and related packages to 7.2. Thanks to Michael Graff

for most of the work on this update. Pkgsrc changes from the previous version include removing Makefile.ssl and some patches that have been integrated into this release of PostgreSQL. We leave open the question of when to byte-compile the Python modules for the PyGreSQL interface and just do it as before, although we should consider doing the compilation as a post-install step to ensure that the timestamps are correct. We also reorder some lines in the Makefile to include Makefile.common below certain definitions (GNU_CONFIGURE, USE_BUILDLINK_ONLY) as they may possibly trigger different portions of Makefile.common. *** Please note that a dump/restore is required to migrate an existing *** *** PostgreSQL installation to 7.2. *** Major changes from version 7.1.3 are geared toward improving use in high-volume applications and include: VACUUM Vacuuming no longer locks tables, thus allowing normal user access during the vacuum. A new "VACUUM FULL" command does old-style vacuum by locking the table and shrinking the on-disk copy of the table. Transactions There is no longer a problem with installations that exceed four billion transactions. OID's OID's are now optional. Users can now create tables without OID's for cases where OID usage is excessive. Optimizer The system now computes histogram column statistics during "ANALYZE", allowing much better optimizer choices. Security A new MD5 encryption option allows more secure storage and transfer of passwords. A new Unix-domain socket authentication option is available on Linux and BSD systems. PAM authentication is also available. Statistics Administrators can use the new table access statistics module to get fine-grained information about table and index usage.

FOO_REQD=1.0 being converted to foo>=1.0, one can now directly specify the dependency pattern as FOO_DEPENDS=foo>=1.0. This allows things like JPEG_DEPENDS=jpeg-6b, or fancier expressions like for postgresql-lib. Change existing FOO_REQD definitions in Makefiles to FOO_DEPENDS.

Convert to use buildlink.mk files and mark as USE_BUILDLINK_ONLY.

Update py-postgresql to 3.2. Changes from version 3.1 include few bugfixes,

adds a few minor features and makes a few speedups in the code, plus: - Fix some DB-API quoting problems (niall.smart@ebeon.com) - Moved development into PostgreSQL development tree.

Update to new COMMENT style: COMMENT var in Makefile instead of pkg/COMMENT.

Only install the postgresql modules, and not the setup module.

Move lots of packages to new time category; fix links; add time subcategory

to main Makefile.

Seems that Python was upgraded to 2.0 so I guess this needs to be modified.

I changed the dependencies and directories accordingly.
