FreeBSD currently has a port (in the ports collection) of v7.0.0.  There has 
not been a port of v7.0.1.  I am trying to edit the v7.0.0 port so that it 
will install v7.0.2.  My assumptions, listed above, lead me to beleive that 
this should be fairly easy to do.

I am not the port maintainer (he is busy until the end of the month, as 
described in my previous post), and I have not previously created or 
customized a port, so I am trying to get more info from people, like 
yourself, who are more knowledgeable about ports or Postgresql.

The crucial question at this point seems to be: has there been any change in 
the number and names of postgresql files from v7.0.0 to v7.0.2?  v7.0.1 is 
inconsequential since I am editing/customizing a port that works for v7.0.0.

(After I have installed 7.0.2, I will send a diff and comments to the port 
maintainer to help him when he updates the port.)

John

P.S. My mail to pgsql-general@postgresql.org doesn't seem to be getting 
through.  Would you have any idea why this is so?
