Of course.
One thing that jumps at me is pgTAP usage, as Zdenek said. I
understand
that it's neat and all that, but we can't include the tests because
they
won't run unless one installs pgTAP which seems a nonstarter. So if
you
want the tests in the repository along the rest of the stuff, they
really should use pg_regress.
It does use pg_regress. The test just load the included pgtap.sql file
to get the tap functions, and then away they go. If you run `make
installcheck` it works.
It's not even difficult to use. Have a look at contrib/ltree/sql and
contrib/ltree/expected for examples.
If you want to push for pgTAP in core, that's fine, but it's a
separate
discussion.
Agreed. I've sent a couple of messages in a thread about that, the
latest this morning.
The other possibility being, of course, that you are proposing
citext to
live on pgFoundry.
I'm not, actually. I mean, I have an updated version for 8.3, but it'd
be quite a pita to maintain them both, since the api for lowercasing
text is so much simpler in 8.4.
Best,
David
