Обсуждение: Bug #833: prep_buildtree and solaris ln
Nathan Mueller (nate@cs.wisc.edu) reports a bug with a severity of 3 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description prep_buildtree and solaris ln Long Description The linking command in config/prep_buildtree doesn't work with /usr/ucb/ln on solaris. If line 36 is changed from: ln -fs "$item" "$buildtree/$filename" || exit 1 to ln -f -s "$item" "$buildtree/$filename" || exit 1 It'll work fine. Sample Code No file was uploaded with this report
'ln -fs' doesn't do the same thing as 'ln -s -f' on Solaris? Are you sure? This is the first we are hearing this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org wrote: > Nathan Mueller (nate@cs.wisc.edu) reports a bug with a severity of 3 > The lower the number the more severe it is. > > Short Description > prep_buildtree and solaris ln > > Long Description > The linking command in config/prep_buildtree doesn't work with /usr/ucb/ln on solaris.

/bin/ln works as expected, but /usr/ucb/ln requires the latter form.
(We BSD fanatics tend to have /usr/ucb before /bin in path to
get the 'correct' behaviour from commands like df and ps...)

I would like to see someone else have this problem before making such an unusual change. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mats Lofkvist wrote: > pgman@candle.pha.pa.us (Bruce Momjian) writes: > > > 'ln -fs' doesn't do the same thing as 'ln -s -f' on Solaris?

Hi, My name is Ilir Gashi and I am a final year student at City University, London, UK. I am doing the final year project, titled "Failure diversity between PostgreSQL and Interbase", which is part of an ongoing reserach at the University the aim of which is to test if there is a gain in reliability, performance and fault-tolerance from employing multiple diverse SQL servers. For my part of the project a list of known bugs which cause a failure of PostgreSQL will be run on the Interbase server to test whether a coincident failure also occurs in this server. And vice versa, a list of known bugs of Interbase will be run on PostgreSQL so that coincidence of failures can be tested. The results of these tests will be collected and summarized so that a valid conclusion can be drawn on whether there is a gain in reliability from employing PostgreSQL and Interbase together in a fault-tolerant SQL server. In order to do the project I need a list of bugs for one of the versions of PostgreSQL. I already obtained the list of known bugs for the Interbase 6.0 from the Firebird website. My question is do you maintain a list of known bugs with the detailed descriptions of the causes of the bug. I would be grateful if you could send me the list of known bugs for versions 7.2 and 7.3. Sorry for the long email, and thank you in advance, Ilir Gashi __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

We do not. You could grovel through the archives of pgsql-bugs
though...

I think all known bugs that are on that list. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
Hi, Thanks for the quick response. I was looking through the archives of pgsql-bugs and I saw that the number of bugs reported is 830 something. Does that mean that these bugs are all for the latest version or for all the versions. If it is for all versions than in some cases it wasn't specified as to for which version was the bug found for, so do I just assume it is for the latest one or contact you to find out. One last question. Since my project has a time limit for completion I need to to reproduce only about 100 bugs during my tests. Do you think there are that many known bugs so far for the latest version. This would help me to know, since I need to know which version of postgres to install and add to the existing test harness which alredy has Interbase 6, MsSQL and Oracle.
