RC1 Uploaded

From
"Dave Page"
Date:
I've uploaded RC1 in src, win32 and slack91 formats to
developer.pgadmin.org. Can someone double check them please. I've also
uploaded new win32 libs with pg_dump.exe and pg_restore.exe included, as
well as a couple of other new libs that libpq requires for the NLS
support that was recently enabled on Windows.

Raphael - do you have time to do an announcement?

Couple of thoughts in preparation for final release:

1) We need a proper 'non-techy' announcement advertising the new
features for end users since 1.0.x. Can you do that one as well Raphael?

2) We need to decide on a cutoff level for translation inclusion. 90%
translated?

3) We will need to advertise the new release as much as possible -
freshmeat, /., postgresql.org etc. Any volunteers to hit those with the
release announcements?

Anything else need considering?

Regards, Dave

A website update announcing RC1 is uploaded, but the gold release
certainly should be announced more glamourously.

That would be good.

Hm, the percentage isn't really the problem, it's the question whether
we should drop previously released languages. This would kick out 10
languages (tr_TR will come as soon as Devrim has a working machine,
which is a prerequisite for Fedora packages anyway).I contacted all
three times.

I'm not really a selling person... Any support is greatly appreciated.

Nothing that comes to my mind now.

Andreas

Hold on, I'm building the RPM "right now" :) Just downloaded
http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/wxGTK-2.5.3.tar.bz2
and now building it. Then I'll build RC1 RPM (I hope, if Murphy leaves me
alone :) )

tr_TR is on the way also :)

$ msgfmt -v -o /dev/null pgadmin3.po
915 translated messages, 47 fuzzy translations, 53 untranslated messages.

At the moment, I'd like to concentrate my efforts on tracking my 2 open
bugs on debian.org. However, if I have something for this non-techy
announcement or for the 'more-techy' one I'll propose it.

Jean-Michel was the most competent person for such things, any news from
him ?

Cheers,

He sometimes becomes online @ ICQ. Let me talk to him next time I see him
online.
