 Since people suddenly seem to be suffering from bandwidth concerns I

For me and I expect many other folk on the edge of civilization it is a 
total PITA to have to fiddle around and download many separate tarball 
files. What I want is to be able to start a d/l going and then come back 
when it's finished and know that I have _everything_ I actually need to 
have a working and documented product in one shot. 

For developers, contributors and testers and I would like to suggest that 
an exact snapshot of the complete CVS source archive is appropriate.  We 
can then track the changes every day using cvs or cvsup - wonderful tool 
btw - 

What is really _really_ needed is a text README which explains exactly 
what file contains.

Personally I have found that the limitations of the packaging systems to 
be such a nuisence that I always compile everything from source.

Re: [HACKERS] More on elog and error codes

 So we need some good error numbering scheme.  Any ideas?

Just that it might be a good idea to incorporate the  version / release 
details in some way so that when somebody on the list is squeaking about 
an error message it is obvious to the helper that the advice needed is to 
upgrade from the Cretatious Period version to a modern release, and have 
another go.

[HACKERS] FATAL 2: XLogFlush: request is not satisfied

2001-03-15 Thread Christopher Sawtell 

Greetings,

  I'm getting errors as a result of making queries. The attached log from 
the last two queries gives an idea as to what is happening.

  I suspect I must have done something bad when I upgraded via cvsup.

  Does this mean that I should do an initdb?
