err... no I'm not, based on review feedback in Tokyo. New schedule is roughly this... * agree changes over next week * make changes and submit new patch by 1 Jan * commit patch by 7 Jan Overview of details agreed in Tokyo, now subject to further comments from hackers * Move recovery.conf parameters into postgresql.conf Allow reload of most parameters, allow ALTER SYSTEM Provide visibility of values through GUC interface * recovery.conf is replaced by recovery.trigger -> recovery.done * pg_basebackup -R will write recovery.trigger to data directory insert parameters postgresql.conf.auto, if possible * backwards compatibility - read recovery.conf from $DATADIR - presence of recovery.conf will cause ERROR * backwards compatibility - some parameter names will change, so allows others to changes also if needed * Add docs: "Guide to changes in recovery.conf in 10.0" * recovery_target as a single parameter, using proposed "xid 666" "target value" format * remove hot_standby parameter altogether, in line with earlier changes * trigger_file renamed to promote_trigger_file * standby_mode = on| off -> default to on * pg_ctl recover - not as part of this patch I'll work on the patch from here on, to allow me to work towards commit.
