Thread: tonight's mega-patch
OK, tonight's mega-patch should be pretty close to the final patch. We had to have the Alpha fix, and I put in the other fixes that looked easy to understand. Most were port-specific cleanup people had posted. If it breaks, let Marc (Oh, no, I mean the hackers list) know. -- Bruce Momjian | 830 Blythe Avenue maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 + If your life is a hard drive, | (610) 353-9879(w) + Christ can be your backup. | (610) 853-3000(h)

I have decided based on some thought and some discussion with Bruce to hold off trying to get the S_LOCK backoff change into the mega-patch. While it is a nice idea, and I even have it all coded, I would like to do some extra testing and paw around some other code a bit as there is a possibility of it surfacing some problems with respect to the way signals are handled. It could I suppose be put out for people to experiment with... -dg David Gould dg@illustra.com 510.628.3783 or 510.305.9468 Informix Software (No, really) 300 Lakeside Drive Oakland, CA 94612 - I realize now that irony has no place in business communications.
