Thread: Open 7.1 items
I have about 20 open 7.1 items that I need to get resolved before I can start getting the doc TODO list started. The issues relate to JDBC, ODBC, and lots of other stuff that need to be settled before we can finalize 7.1. They can not be easily summarized in one line. You really have to see the whole email to understand the issues. How do people want to do this? I can post them to hackers, or put them on my web site. I posted them to hackers during the past few days, but many went unanswered. These are all relatively new from the past few months. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026
haven't seen it posted to hackers, or, if I did, I didn't clue into it ... and just checked to see if maybe it was waiting for approval due to size, and nothing in the queue ... posting it here is easier to respond to ...

I have trickled the emails as I reviewed them, asking for comments. It was not one big email. > > haven't seen it posted to hackers, or, if I did, I didn't clue into it ... > and just checked to see if maybe it was waiting for approval due to size, > and nothing in the queue ... > > posting it here is easier to respond to ... > > > On Wed, 24 Jan 2001, Bruce Momjian wrote: > > > I have about 20 open 7.1 items that I need to get resolved before I can > > start getting the doc TODO list started.

Finding them is even harder. May as well read the email rather than link to a web page. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

I guess that having _one_ document with all of them would get much more attention. It could be just copy and paste from the e-mails, numbered to be easily referred to. Not everybody here reads _every_ mail on the list, even if it is from you ;) --------------- Hannu

Could you post a list of open issues where each has just a number, heading (optional) and link to an email in some mailing-list archive ? ---------------- Hannu

Also, they go to different lists sometimes.

Finding them is even harder. IIRC you complained that there are 20 open issues that needed to be resolved befor releasing 7.1, no? Just to start discussing them, we should need a more or less closed list of issues. Or was the original posting (the one that started this thread) just a comment about how hard life is ;) ;) You can't reasonably expect people to read all e-mail from last few weeks (probably a few thousands) and spot the same items as you. > May as well read the email rather than link to a web page. Still it would be good to have a "TODO before 7.1 relese" ------------- Hannu

I can't boild down many of these items into short descriptions. People need to see the detail of the emails. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

But maybe we could agree on something in Subject:, maybe [TODO - 7.1] so that it is immediately clear it's urgent ? ------------- Hannu

I haven't seen them either, although my Inbox is big again, and I'm filtering out mails by their subject line, so it's possible I've missed them. I'm slowly working my way through JDBC, but it's all hinging on getting my linux box back online. It's powered up, but not talking to the network :-( Should be sorted by Saturday morning...
