Well, I made it about eight months since I got my new hard drive... and today… I had to run…
sudo port -v install mysql5 +server
Why? I have to migrate some data from MySQL to PostgreSQL.

Robby, I’m wondering what extension library you are using to hook up Ruby / Rails to PostgreSQL? Also, what version if PostgreSQL are you using in production? I see that MacPorts now has two Postgres 8.x port: postgres81 (for 8.1.8) and postgres82 (for 8.2.3). Is, for example, ruby-postgres (last updated in April of 2006) stable enough to work with PostgreSQL 8.2.x? Its ReadMe file says nothing about testing on 8.2.x and suggests that its stable only through 8.1.x
There seems to be some instability with regard to the ruby-postgres extension library as its being taken over by a new maintainer (Jeff Davis) from the previous maintainer (Dave Lee).
Cheers.
