Well, I can run tests for folks before they apply a patch and "red" the build farm. I can also research fixes easier because I am using the OS, rather than running blind tests. I am just telling you what people told me. My big point in posting was to say that compiling git was not the nightmare I expected it to be. I figured it would want tons of newer or odd libraries I didn't have, but that was not the case at all. I am sure others will need to compile git themselves for odd operating systems, and I wanted to encourage them to try. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
