And GNU Bazaar of course. If anybody wants a play, there is already an
import available at
https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/slony-i/trunk. Just install a
modern version of Bazaar and 'bzr branch lp:slony-i' to get started. I
recommend 2.1. http://bazaar-vcs.org for more information, including
the excellent documentation at
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/bzr.2.1/en/.

I'm available for questions, but I'm not going to be a committer in
the foreseeable future and will leave the discussion to those who are
going to use the VCS.
