It would be more useful these days for the default version to be switched to the 9.3 branch. This would allow binary packages to be used and Postgres to run out of the box on new FreeBSD installations without having to tune SystemV shared memory parameters. >How-To-Repeat: Try to install anything depending on a Postgres port, such as p5-DBD-Pg; it will pull a Postgres 9.0.x port or package. >Fix: Change the default PostgreSQL version to 9.3 somewhere deep in /usr/ports/Mk >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
