Packagers wouldn't be the issue; their work should be done by the Saturday at latest. The website crew might have a problem though. The main gating factor here is whether Dave Page's crew can get the Windows installers ready any sooner; given his previous comments, I don't think that moving the wrap up a few days would change anything. We could wrap next week if we were OK with not having Windows installers at the announcement, but I bet you'll say that's a no-go. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

It seems that even if you published before PGCon a reasonable number of possible testers would be there and/or responding to any feedback is going to be delayed since developers are going to be there. I could see the goal being having a package-ready commit before PGCon but schedule the official release until after. No matter what you call it those who want a head start can self-compile while others will just wait until the packagers are done. Either way the same codebase will be in the wild (so probably don't want to call it alpha). The original reason for pre-conference is so the developers can feel less bad talking about 9.3 features (and 9.2 post-mortem) since the beta for 9.2 will be completed.

[HACKERS] 9.2 release notes, beta time?
I just talked to Tom about the 9.2 release notes. Do people want me to write the 9.2 release notes? When do you think we will be ready for 9.2 beta? -- Bruce Momjian br...@momjian.ushttp://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

When do you think we will be ready for 9.2 beta? Well, we've got a bunch of open issues, but most of them don't look *too* serious. If everyone dropped what they're doing and worked on them, I think we could be done in 2 weeks, but realistically I think it's likely to take 1-2 months. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Well, I would sure like to see a beta out sooner than that. I don't think we necessarily have to resolve every known open issue before we put out beta1. I believe we do need to resolve anything that would force initdb (such as Peter's bytea_agg change), and of course we need to write release notes so that beta testers know what to test. At the same time, I'd like to light a fire under people to deal with the open issues. I agree that it will take some time for all of them to get dealt with, but it doesn't help if the responsible hackers are procrastinating. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

I was hoping for at least two weeks because I am away Monday to Thursday of next week for EnterpriseDB. I can do it by March 27, or the latest March 30, that is 2-2.5 weeks from now. -- Bruce Momjian br...@momjian.ushttp://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
