Thread: Win32 for 7.5... how to help?
Hi all, This probably more than a little premature/ill-timed, but I was hoping to start a groundswell of support for Win32 port. I, and I imagine quite a number of capable lurkers on the list, would love to get involved. Is there a way that work can be doled out now/soon, so that we can make the next release (and with more stability than we might have expected had the port squeezed into 7.4). How do we help? No doubt this'll be shelved until some time after 7.4 is pushed out, but it would be great if one of the Postgres "heavies" (figuratively :-) would pro-actively lead this...

Uh, the two big items are Win32 signal code, and reordering the startup code to allow exec without fork. Both are pretty complicated, but I do ask for assistance on the hackers list. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claudio Natoli wrote: > > > I am already leading it, I think. > > Ok.

I guess we'll just keep our eyes peeled for the next time we can help out.
