pgfincore in debian

5 mins read debian
As of pretty recently, pgfincore is now in debian, as you can see on its postgresql-9.0-pgfincore page. The reason why it entered the debian archives is that it reached the 1.0 release!

Cela permet par exemple d’ajouter un champ « origine », qui dépend typiquement de la chaîne de production des données et se retrouve souvent dans le nom du fichier de données lui-même.
