If you can commit to ongoing maintenance then we'll get you on the packagers list so you can get advance notice of releases and having input on the scheduling details. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin

Well, strangely, committing to ongoing maintenance will be easier than doing the first one. ;-) -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin

I actually built 8.3.4 on SLES 10.2 on..err..Friday, while building Fedora/RH RPMs. 8.3.1 spec of SLES is broken IMHO, and it requires special attention from someone who is experienced in packaging (me :-) ) and who is familiar with pg code.. I fixed spec file. The only remaining issue is libpgport.a. If someone who is familiar to PG code can comment on how this file is built, I can push that spec file to my repo, so that Simon or others can continue maintaining it. That file is built on Fedora/RHEL, but I'm not sure why SLES skips it. I need that file for Slony-I on SLES,since AFAICS Slony version is 1.2.6 on SLES :-( I don't have access to that SLES server. I'll ask my friend to post the spec to me, and I'll let you know about the status.

Peter had a good go at it, but that was a few releases ago. I've been wanting to make SUSE releases better for a few years now, so am happy to take this on long term. It's not a snap decision since I build on OpenSUSE daily, but from source, not RPMs. As you say, you're in a better position to sort out a stopgap in the short term and I can then take on the task after feature freeze when I'll have more time. In any case, we'll need to make them as consistent as possible between different Linuxes so I'll be relying on your packaging experience. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin

I am looking after it, but I cannot guarantee real-time releases with the resources available to me. Certainly, one or two more people joining the looking after would be welcome. I did some work recently to put all the pieces in place, so at this time we basically only need to replace the tarballs and release once in a while. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin

Yeah, as you can see here https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=server:database:postgresql SLES builds have been broken for a while. I have not analyzed that yet.

This version builds on SLES 10.2 cleanly. I also found the reason why libpgport.a is removed (see spec file for that). If you don't have any objections, I'm inclined to remove that part from spec, so that we can compile Slony-I, too. This is not a very good spec file for me, but at least it compiles.
