As Mark indicated, we currently only support kernel patches via our PLM system, but we are in the process of changing that for other components (e.g. the compilers, the statistics tools). Ultimately anything we can save as source code, we will be able to patch and accessible via our test platform, Scalable Test Platform (STP). If we were to make it possible to download PostgreSQL releases on PLM and allow developers to apply patches to it, would there be interest from the community in that capability? In other words, would you all use it to test compiles on various hardware (I32, I64, PowerPC), or test PostgreSQL on various Linux kernels? Would you run the patches against the database test we have via STP? Is there any other feature you might suggest? -- Mary Edie Meredith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Open Source Development Lab ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
