I haven't been following this much, but I note that there is lots of confusion over the international standards, guidelines, recommendations, specifications etc that we should be following. AFAICS the requirements have not been solidified and so there is little scope for examining the patch to see if it meets any particular definition of usable. It would be very useful to write a long Wiki article explaining what standards you think the security community want and how those have been implemented in your patches. And also ones they don't want and why. Maybe you have all that already, so its just a case of exposing it. If it is clearly written and easily publicly accessible (no patches etc), then we can easily forward these links to people in the right communities and they can provide feedback. I will forward to my UK Gov contacts if you post a link (and to me, cos I'm not reading these threads). Do it soon, please. Once that's done, it can then be used as an info source for interested people once the patch has been accepted, so it will be valuable over time. There's a clear need for Postgres in government and hi-security businesses, so we need to get this right. But there's not much point doing 65% or 135% of what's needed. Your efforts and attention are appreciated by all. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
