Hi,

Does anyone know if psycopg is available as an RPM that works well with
the Red Hat's PostGreSQL RPM's?  Since I *LIKE* databases, I strongly
prefer to have all the toys I install set up as RPM's rather than
straight tarballs, cuz it does a really nice job of keeping track of
things. I even had the beginnings of a nice little RPM to PostGreSQL
converter at one time... (Never used .deb's, but someday I probably
will.)
