If one of the committers who is knowledgeable about Windows has time to apply this *before* the next CommitFest, that's obviously great. But the purpose of adding a link to the next CommitFest is to provide a backstop, so that we're not relying solely on someone to notice this email thread and pick it up, but instead have the patch as part of a list of patches needing review. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
