Uh, it's never been a good idea to set your watch by our beta release
schedule. In fact, for purposes of RPM building, I'd suggest lagging
even up to a day or two to see if some immediate problems crop up and
are fixed.

I think I can do Monday, but I don't know where Thomas is. Doesn't
he still want to squeeze in the date/time type consolidation?

Well, having been on the other side of the fence, so to speak, WRT the RPM's, I may be overreacting a little. I was always aggravated and annoyed by the long lag (up to six months prior to 6.5) between a PostgreSQL release and an RPM for me to bang on. While I could very well have pulled the source tarball and gone through a conversion from an RPM installation to a tarball installation, I was not too enamored of that approach, just to have to move the other way at RedHat-upgrade time. So, I got involved in the RPM building process primarily so that RPM PostgreSQL users that want to beta test (if I was interested in doing so, I know there were and are more) can have a timely beta to test. Maybe I'm a little too zealous in this regards.... However, even the packaging itself this go around is beta. I will want to have RPM's out there being tested long before a final 7.0 release. Plus, since I am building on RedHat for the RPM's, I catch build-time bugs for that OS early. But, if you feel I should lag a couple of days, I can do that. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

I'm building to test now. And will be out of town from this weekend
through the next (9 days). I should be able to get the datetime stuff
and Jan's parser stuff done beforehand...
