[postgis-devel] trunk regress fails - PostgreSQL Minimum version?

[Paragon Corporation]

The buffer functions work fine for me on 8.4.  Kevin, was this just in 8.2?
If I have my way -- we won't be supporting 8.2 for PostGIS 1.5 so would be a
moot point.

Or shall I say one more reason to ditch 8.2 :)

Paul and Kevin -- I think Mark and I are in agreement on ditching 8.2 for
1.5 what about you 2?

I know Kevin gave a +1 to the matrix -- and I'm in full agreement we need a
matrix (listing at the very minimum for each PostGIS version which
PostgreSQL versions we support).  I'd be willing to write that up too.

Thanks,
Regina

I remember a similar problem with 8.3, which forced me to cast as 'text'
first and 'cstring' second (direct casting wasn't supported).
I'm afraid it'll take some pg-version-specific macro to fix this.
I can only test 8.3.7 atm, if anyone provides a fix for older I will try
there.
