We've been working on some hyoooge slowness from certain NDMP restores and several other concerns (like Solaris). It's been disappointing, but a fix is likely to make it into this project.
I'm sorry and apologize for dropping-off-the-map. I actually have a very-good-build working for what we need in-house but we need more moved into the Github. I'm becoming the C-and-Jenkins-and-build guy and we've only one other working remotely also working on these issues. In addition, we're planning to compare the two-track path that went from tag-3.5.x --> 3_5 and the different path that went from tag-3.5.x --> trunk/master. Some of those are overlapping and some of those are not. We're worried more of the new development was put under the 3_5 branch and hasn't been fully moved to the master. Some news at least: 1) installcheck does work and is a pretty impressive self-test, but requires an *onerous* list of Perl modules. [we should have a script that gathers them from CPAN and the like or bundles them in]. 2) Solaris 10 as a client seems to build fine but one problem is still showing up. 3) Everything from Debian 8 and on and Centos 5 and on and Fedora back a ways all seem to build okay. [Excepting only that Centos 6 doesn't support/have autoconf 2.64 and above.] I'll get back later and attempt to get some into the branches soon, especially anything that's already used in Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora builds.
