Thread: PostgreSQL Beta4 Tag'd and Bundle'd ...
Well folks, we are now coming into the home stretch of another long development cycle, and its time for more vigorous and extensive testing ... Last night, we bundled up Beta4, which is the first one that we've officially announced "publicly", with the other 3 having been only announced on -hackers ... This release, depending on the bug reports received, will most likely flow into our first Release Candidate by end of next week, so we encourage every(and any)one that can to download and test her, so that our first Release Candidate can be as clean as possible ... As we did the bundling last night, most mirrors should already have a copy of it available under /pub/source/v7.4 ... We've also started to bundle up bzip2, along with the .gz files, for those that wish to download those ... with appropriate md5 files ...
Does this have native Win32 support? ""Marc G.

Unless you are one the core developers of Postgresql it's pretty hard to keep up with what is "really" going on with this product. This link clearly states that it's going to be in 7.5 http://techdocs.postgresql.org/guides/Windows This is where you can download the latest builds. http://developer.postgresql.org/beta.php This is where you can download the source, but for the windows stuff you need to download the 7.4 stuff and then the stuff tagged as WIN32_DEV (I think) (Makes me think that Windows support might be in 7.4) http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/ Then there is a website of Bruce Momjian (can't remember the link) that gives you the status of the Windows port. Then there is a hidden newsgroup for win32 development (can't see it in a newreader). So, that is why I asked the question because lots of things about Postgresql are in many different places and it becomes difficult (from the main website) to find things. I want to help Postgresql just as much as the next person, so cut us some slack and encourage help instead of discourage it. Thanks There isn't one place that you can goto to find out the information that you need. ""Marc G.

That is the only way to keep up with what's going on. But you must be willing to take the e-mail volume that that entails. Or use the archive web interface. But -hackers is the place, and has been since the beginning. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu

But if you are a potential end-user of your product, you don't know this. I still think the Website should be the point of contact for potential user to be able to find out where things stand and how to find out other important information that an end user my what or need to know.

Or sign up for -announce and read the weekly news, which gives a summary
of each weeks developments* and updates some other ancillary information
about the project.
* save last week, which seems to have gotten lost in virtual space, but
come Wednesday their will be an update.

Part of the problem is that there are so many things happening, we don't know how to report it. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

That reminds me. There used to be postgresql weekly news on linuxtoday. Haven't noticed them for quite a long. Are they been disabled? Shridhar

I hope to get the weekly news's on the website at some point, but we're
spread so far thin no one has had the time to make it happen. :-\

I've not been able to get into a strong habit of submitting them there
since I've noticed they do not always show up when submitted. Hopefully
this weeks will go through...

Maybe you could also publish them as email. I do think that one reason Apache is staying on top is the weekly Apache newsletter. -- Kaare Rasmussen --Linux, spil,-- Tlf: 3816 2582 Kaki Data tshirts, merchandize Fax: 3816 2501 Howitzvej 75 Åben 12.00-18.00 Email: kar@kakidata.dk 2000 Frederiksberg Lørdag 12.00-16.00 Web: www.suse.dk
