After an unfortunate two weeks where I was lost in Nyquil-land and not
paying as much attention as I should have, I just finished a pass
checking over all the open 26 CommitFest items. Just under 50% of the
patches that were open at the start of the CF are still hanging around,
with 6 in "Ready for Committer" and the rest split evently waiting for
reviewers or the author. A few larger patches or patch sets deserve
some commentary.
The multi-part Extensions patch continues to chug along. A committer
needs to pick up "pg_execute_from_file()" next to keep progress on that
series going, as the other two remaining patches depend on it (and may
need to be rebased after it goes in). Help is also needed on coding
review of the main "Extensions" patch. The as yet untouched "ALTER
EXTENSION ... SET SCHEMA ..." is the last patch in the set to apply, and
while it needs a reviewer eventually I don't think that's the blocking
point on the general extension work yet.
As for the also large SQL/MED set, I'm not sure whether it's posible to
get review work started on its two dependent components--"file_fdw" and
"postgresql_fdw"--until the main patch is finished off. Given the size
of code involved, it wouldn't surprise me if everyone is still be
chewing on that series into the next CF. Glad to see it all submitted
for this one though.
Most of the remaining patches that are in "Needs Review" have already
gone through one round of review. There are two notable exceptions.
While some libpq work has been getting finished for Sync Rep, neither of
the two main patches for that have received any love for almost two
months now. This is the spot where I start to get worried about seeing
this finish for 9.1. I'm now trying to find time to work on those;
anybody else need this feature who can help?
