Hi Everybody,
I recieved this patch from Loic that allows linking cli_c and pgserver into a
library, so you can run one app and pgserver in a single process. It's a pretty
nifty capability, but I'm afraid that this implementation will interfere with
reorganizing the network code later. I haven't been able to decide whether to
add this to CVS yet, so I thought I'd ask the community :)
Forwarded below is Loic's argument for including the patch, and the patch
itself is available as a .tar.gz of diffs from the Sourceforge patch tracker.
This includes a description:

Hi,
Got your message on IRC saying:
just from the description in the email though, I don't think I'll be
integrating the whole thing into CVS. I was planning on handling the
issue rather differently... but it's great to have the patches until i
finally get around to implementing the planned stuff
but was too slow to respond and you were gone ;-)
I'd like to advocate for integrating the patch into CVS for the
following reasons:
- It is small and can be trashed when you decide to implement
things otherwise. Even better, we can discuss your ideas and
implement them ourselves at a later time.
- I want to mature it so that it becomes stable and still minimal
and this will require some work in the next few weeks. Doing so
on the basis of a CVS + patch will be much harder for me since
I'll have to fight with CVS conflicts every now and then.
- There is little chance that people try it / discover problems
if only provided as a patch somewhere.
- I'll need to contribute to other aspects of PICOgui and when
submitting patches they won't apply to the CVS because of my
patched version.
- The PICOgui + patches scheme is more than likely to
encourage people to fork PICOgui merely for code
maintainance convenience, which is something I don't want to
see happen.
I sincerly hope you'll see the rationale of my request. If
something is really bothering you with the current patch, I'll make sure
the problem is solved.
What do you think ?
