[HACKERS] Build date for snapshots?
Folks, I'm not getting bug reports for 8.2 from inside Sun. However, I'm not sure how I can determine from the source what build day a particular snapshot instance is from -- sometimes these files get copied around a bit before being built. Is there a file somewhere that would carry a timestamp inside it? Thanks. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

Well, you could grep for the latest $PostgreSQL$ header line's commit date, but I kinda wonder why exactly you should need to do that. If you don't know when you pulled the snapshot you are testing, I submit you have a process problem you ought to fix. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

Tom, Well, you could grep for the latest $PostgreSQL$ header line's commit date, but I kinda wonder why exactly you should need to do that. If you don't know when you pulled the snapshot you are testing, I submit you have a process problem you ought to fix. These aren't PostgreSQL test people, but folks from Java and the like testing other stuff. And they're pulling the build from ftp:/pub/dev/, not from CVS. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

O.k. but why aren't they submitting pgsql-bugs? Believe me, you don't want these people submitting bugs unfiltered by me. Especially since they can't remember when they grabbed the snapshot. Seriously, though, it would be an aid to testing if we could add a tag to the version or README file or something for the pgsql-snapshot that told us build date. If there is one, I can't find it. When Marc gets done putting out fires, I'll ask him how difficult that would be. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
