rb-postgres should depend on the latest postgresql port available

[rick.martinez@…]

rb-postgres is requiring an older version of PostgreSQL although the latest port is postgresql82 (rb-postgres using postgresql81)

There is now a postgresql83 as well. People may want to use rb-postgres without having to update their database to a newer format. This problem is therefore probably best solved with variants, one for each (incompatible) postgresql version.

So the default should be to require 8.3 and then we provide 8.2/8.1/8.0 variants?

That's right.

new portfile with +postgresql8* variants

Could you please test this? I don't have Ruby or PostgreSQL installed currently. I noticed that the home page only says it supports versions up to 8.1, but then it hasn't been updated since 2005.

Un-assigning since I'm no longer actively working on this.
