Hmm. Evidently you now have support for minus-zero. It looks like we
have an updated comparison file for that case for FreeBSD, but it's only
being applied for FreeBSD 4.7:
geometry/i.86-.*-freebsd4.7=geometry-bsd-precision
geometry/i.86-.*-freebsd=geometry-positive-zeros-bsd
geometry/alpha.*-freebsd=geometry-positive-zeros
Or at least it's *trying* to apply it for 4.7 --- as near as I can tell
without testing, the above scrap of resultmap code is wrong because both
of the i.86 lines will match on FreeBSD 4.7, and I think the pg_regress
coding will take the last match. Larry, did you actually test the
CVS-tip resultmap to make sure it picks the right comparison file on
your box?
We could possibly do
geometry/i.86-.*-freebsd=geometry-positive-zeros-bsd
geometry/i.86-.*-freebsd4.7=geometry-bsd-precision
geometry/i.86-.*-freebsd5=geometry-bsd-precision
geometry/alpha.*-freebsd=geometry-positive-zeros
which is mighty ugly, but I'm hopeful that by the next PG release we'll
have gotten rid of most of the platform-to-platform geometry variants
anyway.
