I thought Peter's suggestion for regression test drivers was a good one and I see no reason to block that. Why do you (Tom) object so strongly against having a different one on buildfarm than elsewhere? I'd rather have buildfarm adopt the new suggestion than having buildfarm drive the new stuff. Adopting a default prefix is a different question. For one thing IMHO it should not have %a (application name). Christoph's suggestion (Debian's default) seemed good. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
