Re: Preparing the 1.0.2 release
Hi, I was wondering about the 4+Gb append issue on Windows which has a patch pending in Erlang. This issue (indirectly) influences CouchDB's usefullness for larger databases on the Windows platform. Is this (more explicitly) being mentioned somewhere and/or will there be a new couchdb release when a new Erlang (containing that patch) is released? i.e. this is more of a how to deal with 'couchdb depends on external software which contains a certain important bug' question.

The fix is on the OTP side, there's nothing to change in CouchDB. i.e. this is more of a how to deal with 'couchdb depends on external software which contains a certain important bug' question. There's are some non-official Windows builds of OTP with the fix applied.

Best regards, Jeroen I'm not entirely certain on the specifics. Perhaps there should be a note on the wiki page or near the windows packages this specific fact, but assuming that no code changes in CouchDB are required then I'd consider this a documentation thing as we used to have to do with the 5.5.5 VM.

Re: Preparing the 1.0.2 release
Hi, On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 7:02 PM, Filipe David Manana Right. The fix is on the OTP side, there's nothing to change in CouchDB. Yes I know, but the official CouchDB Windows installer also includes Erlang. i.e. this is more of a how to deal with 'couchdb depends on external software which contains a certain important bug' question. There's are some non-official Windows builds of OTP with the fix applied. See the top section at http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Windows Ok, I see that section was recently added, so I missed it before. As far as I can tell, that seems documented enough to me. Best regards, Jeroen

So yes, it makes sense to me as well to make a new installer once there's an official OTP release with the fix. cheers i.e. this is more of a how to deal with 'couchdb depends on external software which contains a certain important bug' question.

Thanks, Paul Davis This is *NOT* a vote on releasing 1.0.2. I've gone through the directions for preparing a release and I'd like to get some feedback on the artefacts themselves.

Re: Preparing the 1.0.2 release
I've already got the bits made, if you can double check what's online, that'd be great. Unfortunately I'm already back in Iowa so free time will be hit or miss.
