I'm just shooting from the hip here, but maybe we could have a separate (probably smaller) set of tests that are only designed to work in a limited range of locales and/or encodings. I'm really pleased that we now have the src/test/isolation stuff, and I think some more auxilliary test suites would be quite excellent. Even if people didn't always want to run every single one when doing things manually, the buildfarm certainly could. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
