[HACKERS] 8.0RC1 tomorrow

2004-12-02 Thread Tom Lane
The core committee has agreed that it's about time to advance to Release
Candidate status (which we define as code is frozen, but not docs nor
message translation work).  Barring surprises, 8.0RC1 will be wrapped
tomorrow (Friday).

We never really issued a call for port reports as has been past
practice.  I think that Andrew Dunstan's build farm has partially
obsoleted that custom, but if you have access to a platform that
is not represented in the build farm, please do give it a try soon.

Tom,
Will ANALYZE continue to ignore columns whose data is composed entirely 
of NULL in 8.0?

What platforms are covered by the build farm?
I couldn't find any info about it as I looked through the pages

Ah, good.  I'm not seeing it immediately, but I'll keep my eye out.  
I've an AIX 5.1 system on which I could try to compile if you don't 
have one in the farm, though I usually build/deploy on Linux.

Those with nothing in the branches column have not yet reported results 
(one is my test machine).

If you have something missing from here I'm especially interested in 
hearing from you. (HPUX and Solaris-x86 for example). Also anyone who 
has Windows machines that can be used to replace the Cygwin and Windows 
hosts.

The platform coverage of the build farm is currently quite limited, and 
all those red lines don't make me feel better.  I think we still need 
to check all the platforms explicitly.

I think Linux entries are quite useless.  We need to know what 
distribution (and version) it is.  The kernel is actually a pretty 
uninteresting part of the porting process.

I would very much welcome your input and that of other major developers on
a) how we classify farm members,
b) what steps should be run for a farm test, and
c) what information would be useful from a build run.
Unfortunately I got hit with some unexpected issues about a month ago 
that have restricted my available time rather.

So far I have been concentrating on getting the clients working robustly 
- Windows and Cygwin have been something of a challenge, as expected. 
The server side is extremely simple - crude even. The database is as 
just 2 tables like this:

pgbuildfarm=# \d buildsystems
Table public.buildsystems
 Column  | Type | Modifiers 

-+--+---
name | text | not null
secret   | text | not null
operating_system | text | not null
os_version   | text | not null
compiler | text | not null
compiler_version | text | not null
architecture | text | not null
status   | text | not null
sys_owner| text | not null
owner_email  | text | not null
Indexes:
   buildsystems_pkey primary key, btree (name)
pgbuildfarm=# \d build_status
  Table public.build_status
   Column |Type | Modifiers 

--+-+---
sysname   | text| not null
snapshot  | timestamp without time zone | not null
status| integer | 

stage | text| 

log   | text| 

conf_sum  | text| 

branch| text| 

changed_this_run  | text| 

changed_since_success | text| 

Indexes:
   build_status_pkey primary key, btree (sysname, snapshot)
   bs_branch_snapshot_idx btree (branch, snapshot)
   bs_sysname_branch_idx btree (sysname, branch)
Foreign-key constraints:
   bs_fk FOREIGN KEY (sysname) REFERENCES buildsystems(name) ON UPDATE 
CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE
These were really more or less placeholders while I got things up and running.
Any constructive input is welcome. Anyone who would like to make the web 
site look spiffy rather than pedestrian would be especially welcome 
(it's done in perl + template toolkit).

cheers

wasn't clearly a bug fix, I can't really do anything about it now ;-)
