Обсуждение: Beta timing
I have heard from Tom Lane that he will be out of town until Wednesday. As with any volunteer project, we can't hold people to dates and schedules. I know he is not done with everything he wants to do before beta, so we have to decide whether we should push ahead with beta now or wait for him to return. On compromise would be to push ahead with beta now and let Tom slip things in after beta begins.

Hi Bruce, I reckon we should wait until he returns. This way people testing the beta's get to try the new features Tom will add when he gets back, and don't have to wait for the next version of the Beta. i.e. better testing.

I have done ALTER TABLE / ADD PRIMARY KEY at home now, and is currently being testing in the 10 mins a day I have free to code on Postgres. It should only need another bit of testing before it's beta-worthy. Given that adding primary keys is something that cannot be done at all with postgres at the moment, without hacking catalogs - you might want to wait for it... Plus, given the activity on the list at the moment, it seems that there are a fair few bugs left!

Wait until everyone is ready/finished with their existing projects ... this past week has thrown alot of turmoil into several lives that wasn't entirely unexpected, but sad nonetheless ... Let's do a poll on Friday evening for who has stuff outstanding left, give it until Monday for ppl to pop their heads up, and then try and deal with Monday as a Beta Start ... we aren't in a rush ...

You may recall that I also have a substantial amount of work on
date/time issues which I would like to get in for beta. That is partway
done already, but not finished today.
I'm guessing that an additional week (or perhaps more) will be necessary
for everyone (and I would certainly like that too).

He has said he will take care of those and I am sure he will. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

OK, so we are clear at least until Monday. I will on vacation starting this Sunday until October 16th. I will prepare the HISTORY file before I leave, and will run pgindent/jpgindent after beta starts while I am on vacation. Actually, if we don't do final before October 16, I can do it when I return. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

I know Tom wants it to be run for this relase, and I know the jdbc folks want it too. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026
