Thread: v7.4 Beta 1 Bundle Available for Testing ...
Just a quick note to everyone that v7.4 is now official in Beta Freeze,
with the first Bundle available for download, testing and bug reports ...
The Bundle is available on all FTP mirrors (in both .gz and .bz2 format)
under:
/pub/source/v7.4
We encourage everyone that is able to download, test and report any bugs
on this release to do so, so that we can ensure that this release is as
strong as all our past releases.
All bug reports should be addressed to: pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org
Thank you

When the drop eventually does become available will it contain any Win32 stuff (raw as it is)?

I thought that the issue with the Windows native port was that it wouldn't yet ... something about fork() vs exec() that Bruce was working on?

Might be some lag in that mirror synching; try
ftp://ftp3.us.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/source/v7.4/

depends on what you mean by any. I believe that the standard tarball
will compile under windows, but to what extent it will actually run I
couldn't say. This release is not intended for native use on windows
(that had to be pushed back to 7.5), though it will certainly run via
cygwin.

It compiles, but does not link because of the missing fork/exec and signals. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Hermit Hacker wrote: > On Wed, 6 Aug 2003, Robert Treat wrote: > > > depends on what you mean by any.

Since it's always more fun to speculate than to wait for the proper
answer... I thought it would compile, but wouldn't actually run due to
exec/fork issues? Course that may have been someones development code
and not what got checked in I suppose...

Maybe it's sync script only runs once a week or so.

Hmm.. the mirror ftp page is suppose to check that the site has rsynced
in the last 48 hours, perhaps a bug in the rsync parsing script?

just looking at the rsyncd.conf file on svr1 itself, is the following a
valid address:
hosts allow = \
114.73.139.66.in-addr.arpa, \

However in this case there is no A record for 114.73.139.66.in-addr.arpa. The ptr record points to doodah.gremlins.biz. There is an a record for doodah.gremlins.biz which lists 66.139.73.114, which matches the original ptr record.
