I guess that brings up the matter of that Solaris zone that was supposed to be running a bunch of RDBMS servers. We have Hudson running (thanks Ari!) . . . any chance we can start automating tests against some of these other

Yeah, I really got stuck there even installing a couple of the basic databases. I don't know Solaris (my experience is FreeBSD) and we can't use the Solaris packages since our limited root access doesn't allow it to work properly. I found installing the databases by hand troublesome because of missing dependencies. And I don't know how we'll go having to upgrade them by hand regularly.

Does anyone have more Solaris foo than me? If so, maybe we could work together to get some of the basic ones installed. Let's start with something simple like mysql and postgresql. Once that is done, I'll update the Hudson installation to run on our zone as a hudson client and we can have all the tests run for every commit, not just before release.

Oh, and yes! Let's get M5 out the door ASAP. I'll write up a release announcement.

Ari
