It's not as bad as all that. Our current list of supported platforms (ie, things that got tested last time) is AIX Free/Open/NetBSD covered by buildfarm HPUX used daily by moi IRIX Linux covered by buildfarm OS X tested pretty often by moi Solaris covered by buildfarm Tru64 UnixWare Windows/Cygwin covered by buildfarm With respect to hardware it's x86 covered by buildfarm ia64 x86_64 covered by buildfarm ARM Alpha MIPS covered by buildfarm m68k PA-RISC used daily by moi PPC tested pretty often by moi RS6000 isn't this same as PPC? S/390 Sparc covered by buildfarm Considering that we have both 32- and 64-bit, little- and big-endian hardware in there, most of the basic hardware gotchas are covered; the only thing I think is at much risk is the spinlock assembler code, which we change seldom. Where the buildfarm falls down a bit is on the cross-product coverage. But I think you're not going to get the cross product without a call for port reports; there aren't that many people who are going to offer dedicated time on every random platform there is. It would be nice to get an Alpha into the buildfarm, and PPC too. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
