Thread: Beta1 starting date?
I seem to miss the announce of beta testing of 7.1. Could someone please give me a copy of the announcement? -- Tatsuo Ishii
beta1 was very low key ... it was announced here on the list as "its
packaged, try it out" ... there was no big hype about this one, but there
will be for beta2, which will most likely be after Vadim gets those vacuum
fixes in place, and Tom gets those planner fixes ...

Since there are going to already be a number of fixes in beta2, I will wait until beta2 to release any RPM's. I am also continuing to get feedback about the packaging -- many thanks to all who are participating in that discussion! I remember the one or two comments I got on the 7.0 RPM changes (from 6.5), and the change is positive this time. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

It uses killproc function to kill postmaster. killproc sends SIGTERM to stop postmaster. It's good. However if postmaster won't die (for example, some users are still using psql), it then sends SIGKILL signal to postmaster. This is extremely dangerous since there is no chance for postmaster to clean up resources in this case. I think the signal number should be SIGINT (fast shutdown) or SIGQUIT (immediate shutdown). -- Tatsuo Ishii
