Based on the discussion of the last day or so, we really need to see about getting version 1.2 released.
As far as I can tell, all of the issues Rod pointed out are resolved in CVS HEAD, so that 1.2 should seriously diminish the need for "super-skilled staff" when setting up Very Large Instances. Some issues do not disappear; there will still be long running transactions that cause some inconvenience, which is, to a great degree, an unavoidable problem. But we can certainly get rid of a bunch of the "misfeature" cases. Referring back to our checklist... <http://slony-wiki.dbitech.ca/index.php/Release_Checklist> This is a major release, so we *NEED*, quite badly, positive build reports for supported platforms. We'll probably get a great deal of milage out of having some combination of the following: - Red Hat Linux/IA-32, via Devrim's RPM building - I do much of the development on Debian/IA-32, and we run, in production, on AIX 5.3 - Jan builds and tests on FreeBSD - 'Twould be good if Dave Page and others can run on some Windows platforms and - PostgreSQL 7.4 - 8.0 - 8.1 - Hopefully some version of CVS HEAD... - NOT 7.3; it is no longer supported It seems to me that it would be good to get some build/compile/run-at-least-something reports from CVS HEAD, so we know that we don't have anything that's stupidly broken for any of the platforms. In the absence of any such reports, I suppose we should tag up a 1.2 pre-candidate and have that available either Friday or Monday. >From there, we should start on release candidates. _______________________________________________ Slony1-general mailing list [email protected] http://gborg.postgresql.org/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general
