Ultimately, it does come down to human work.
So long as the patch passes the pre-existing regression tests, it's likely to be stable enough to run on some of our development instances. I certainly don't suggest that this is a substitute for reviews. Just that more testing of patches might happen incidentally (by people who currently test their own software against CVS head) if all the pending patches for a commit fest were as easy to pull as CVS head. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
