Re: [HACKERS] PG 8.1 supported platforms list: IRIX is MIA
I don't know if this fills in any of the gaps, but... We passed regression tests with 8.1RC1 on dual hyperthreaded Xeon systems. One had SUSE 9.3 Professional; the other had Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (Service Pack 1). Both had 8 GB RAM and six disk drives set up as RAID 5. Configure switches were: --enable-integer-datetimes --enable-debug --disable-nls On SUSE we also had: --with-python If it would be helpful to have more info, let me know.

Tom Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote Can anyone test 8.1RC1 on IRIX? On a separate matter, I did a simple regression (--enable-cassert) of cvs tip on SunOS 5.8, seems no problem. I found the only thing related in our document is that SunOS 4 is not supported in 2001. Shall we add something in doc?
