[HACKERS] Patch review process; Warning to patch submitters
Based on the patches status page: http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Todo:PatchStatus#current_8.3_patch_status we are a few weeks away from completing all patch review and entering beta. If you have been asked to updated your patch by a patch reviewer, please do so in the next few days or your patch risks being held for 8.4. Patch reviewers are not going to chase down patch authors to get patch changes completed; one email request is sufficient, and I will back up any patch reviewer who wants to hold a patch for 8.4 because the patch was not updated by the patch author in a timely manner. This holds true not only for patches where an update has already been requested but for future requests for updates. The original patch might have made the April 1 deadline, but if it isn't updated promptly, then it will be considered to be not ready to apply and be held for 8.4. The bottom line is that the patch review process is hard enough, and we need the assistance of patch submitters to work with the patch reviewers in a timely manner. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
