Description Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-08-02 07:28:29 UTC
Abandoned upstream and there are multiple reports if it not being compatible with recent versions of PostgreSQL (including default in tree) so that would point little to / no users.

Given the above it's probably best to just remove it, see also https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=297027
Comment 2 Vladimir Druzenko freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-08-02 11:24:37 UTC
I use this software.
Comment 3 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-08-02 11:49:39 UTC
That's irrelevant and not responding to the PR.

It currently missing support for 16+ unless you're going to claim that upstream (PostgreSQL) is wrong. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/16.0/ (and so on)

I, too, continue to use pgadmin3, especially for simpler administrative tasks with PostgreSQL 18. The tool still handles many tasks well and has not corrupted any of my databases so far.

I would like to suggest keeping pgadmin3 in the Ports collection until pgadmin4 becomes available there.
