Apparently, the development of ora2pg is going on at
<http://www.samse.fr/GPL/ora2pg/>, and quite actively so, rather than in
contrib, so I see no point in keeping it at the latter location except to
confuse people. License uniformity is an extra argument for removal. So
please speak up or I'll kill it.

I think we should kill the contrib... I haven't personally seen anyone use
it in a long time. I've found that more and more people are using the Java
ETL tools (which is kinda sad because ora2pg is pretty good).

Please kill it already. This has been discussed and agreed upon a number of
times before, the last of which I even sent a quasi-patch to remove this
particular entry.

Incidentally my offer from that email still stands if you guys are interested.

Actually, there are 4-6 more projects slated to get removed from contrib
per decision on this list; they're waiting for me to prepare a home for
them on pgFoundry.

Right. The new information in this thread is that ora2pg should not go
to pgFoundry because it's already got a home elsewhere.

That's not new, see the link I posted. It's just waiting on Josh or for the
task to be delegated.

Great, please remove it. Also, please mention the new URL so I can put
it in the release notes. Thanks.
