Re: Call for platforms - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Bottom line:  7.1RC1 passes most of the regression tests on 
NetBSD/macppc.  It's probably good enough for normal use since the 
differences are not extensive, but someone would need to look at the 
diff's for longer than the 10 seconds or so I've spent so far, and 
someone should actually set it up for real use to check that.

I used the vanilla tarball from postgresql.org, not the NetBSD package system.

Details:  It's clearly less clean than the OS X build.  Also my G4 
desktop runs rings around both a Sun Ultra 1 and the 8500 I have 
NetBSD on for stuff like this build.

I'm actually reevaluating how much I want to keep running real open 
source OS's vs the partly open MacOS X when both the OS and this 
application runs so much cleaner on the most recent (fastest) 
hardware.  I like Apple stuff, but I never thought I would be this 
impressed with OS X this quickly.  I guess I should shut up now or 
risk a flame war since the point is the PG port quality and not how 
good the target platform is.
