Slony-I heading for release

[Jan Wieck <JanWieck(at)Yahoo(dot)com>]

The Slony-I project is currently heading for release. The plan is to 
start BETA around May 12 with a target release date end of June.

Nightly CVS exports can be downloaded from here:

    http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/slony1/projdisplay.php

I would like to encourage everyone who intends to use Slony-i for and 
has not done so yet, to start testing the software immediately. As the 
PostgreSQL main project, Slony will follow the strict "no new features 
in past releases" rule to the letter.


There is also a step-by-step example how to install and setup replication.

For instant help, I am usually available on the IRC channel #slony on 
freenode.net.

The largest problem left is that the project misses an autoconf and 
build environment expert. As a result of that, building and installing 
Slony-I currently requires the original build tree of the PostgreSQL 
installation to include the original Makefile.global and use other parts 
of the make process. If anyone out there feels fit to untangle this, you 
are highly welcome!
