why do you think so?

 (after private conversation) to the idea of submitting a formal port 
 report via HACKERS, like everybody else?

I andwered you that I will do it, but last week was a short week for 
me, and this Monday I had an email from Peter Eisentraut telling me 
that he will add the SUSE ports to the list, so I didn't see a need to 
send a report in addition.

[HACKERS] SUSE port (was [ANNOUNCE] PostgreSQL 8.0.0 Release Candidate 5)

2005-01-12 Thread Simon Riggs

Not sure what is going on here: why is SUSE not listed on the supported
platforms list? (still)

...is it because Reinhard seems resistant (after private conversation)
to the idea of submitting a formal port report via HACKERS, like
everybody else?

...or is it because his postings to ANNOUNCE that the port to SUSE have
gone unnoticed by those that compile the supported platforms list?

...or both?

There seems no reason for either to occur, but still - no port listed.

Please list the SUSE port, as reported by Reinhard Max.
Please can Reinhard (or another SUSE rep) submit port reports to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Best Regards, Simon Riggs

 Due to several small, and one fairly large, bugs that were found in 
 Release Candidate 4, we have been forced to release our 5th Release (and

 A current list of *known* supported platforms can be found at:

 We're always looking to improve that list, so we encourage anyone that is

 Release Candidate 4.
 
 Baring *any* coding changes (documentation != code) over the next week or so, 
 we *hope* that this will the final Release Candidate before Full Release, 
 with 
 that being aimed for the 19th of January.
 
 As always, this release is available on all mirrors, as listed at:

I haven't seen any reports of passes on SUSE.  I have zero doubt that PG
works on SUSE, since it's pretty much exactly like every other Linux,
but there's been no specific reports on the lists AFAIR.

 ...is it because Reinhard seems resistant (after private conversation)

See above.

 ...or is it because his postings to ANNOUNCE that the port to SUSE have
 gone unnoticed by those that compile the supported platforms list?

If he insists on posting such routine stuff to pgsql-announce, he should
not be too surprised that his postings do not get approved.  That isn't
the correct forum.  We don't peruse the New York Times classified ads
for such reports, either ...

 no need to be rude to me for posting one single email to ANNOUNCE 
 after years of providing the SUSE RPMs silently. There were other 
 posts about RPM builds on ANNOUNCE, so I thought it would be the right 
 place to announce mine as well.

Please no more. I started this, so I apologise now to both of you, and
to the list and hope this ends here.

We all look forward to SUSE being a listed port.

RC5 contains:

  SUSE Linux x86 8.0.0 Peter Eisentraut ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), 2005-01-10
  9.1

In the meantime I have received confirmation from Reinhard Max that his 
test methods match our requirements, so the list will be completed with 
the other platforms he reported in due time.

I'm sorry, but I won't just add it works notices if it's not clear 
what kind of testing was done.
