Thread: Help me follow...
I hit "bug 5665". I see threads like this: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2011-01/msg00241.php Where / how can I find the diff that went in to fix this? Mostly I'm curious. I can work around the problem but wantedto create a patch file for myself to make deploying to other servers easier. Thank you for your help, Perry

You can search through commits here: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=summary Sometimes a reference to the bug number may appear within the commit message, but this won't always happen. If you can't find the commit based on that, try the original reporter's name. We ordinarily credit bug reporters in commit messages that fix the bug. -- Peter Geoghegan http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services

I'm not sure we ever did fix it; I see no references to that bug in the commit history, nor to the similar bug #6059, nor does it look like we changed anything in the relevant make rules. I can no longer reproduce a failure when building out-of-tree from a tarball on my Fedora 16 box. That's still make 3.82, but Fedora is carrying half a dozen patches to the upstream tarball: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=make.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/f16;hb=f16 It's not immediately obvious which of those might be related, but I think this was a bug in gmake and the fix is in there somewhere. regards, tom lane

Agreed. Since Fedora 14 is now EOL, I'm not inclined to worry about it. -- Peter Geoghegan http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services

Since Fedora 14 is now EOL, I'm not inclined to worry about it. I'm on AIX 6.1. Using gmake 3.82. PostgreSQL 9.0.4 Its definitely not a show stopper but from the email traffic, it looked like someone was going to make the Makefiles "lesscutting edge" :-) Thank you for your time, Perry
