Thread: 8.0 beta status
AFAIK there are no major patches still outstanding, with the exception of the Windows-symlinks patch that arrived today from Andreas. Bruce and I both think that's worth getting in, if no one has any objections, but otherwise we essentially have 8.0beta1 code. The documentation, however, desperately needs work still; and Marc would like to get some of the postgresql.org domains shifted over to the newly-installed venus server before we go beta. So the plan right now is for a couple days' push on documentation, wrap beta1 on Sunday, announce it Monday. If anyone has time to work on docs over the next two days, please show up on pgsql-docs and let us know what you want to work on. (And of course it's still open season for bug-fix patches.) regards, tom lane

Which docs are in the most desparate need of help? Cheers, D -- David Fetter david@fetter.org http://fetter.org/ phone: +1 510 893 6100 mobile: +1 415 235 3778 Remember to vote!
I've fixed dbsize here and will send it off once I get a second to test it with multiple tablespaces. I haven't looked at oid2name. Bruce put together some ideas a few months back on what we want from oid2name now (somewhere around here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2004-06/msg00263.php). Were there any other suggestions?

Tom, I haven't had a comment on the 'restoring LOB comments' patch, nor on the two tablespace failures that Gavin and I brought up (Or the original schema tablespace problem you found when you committed). They could probably be post-beta perhaps though... Chris

(Note that "TABLESPACE pg_default" does definitely not mean either of these.) This is fixable with some special syntax but is it worth the trouble? regards, tom lane

The other tablespace problem is if you drop a tablespace that schema in another db uses, it's broken still I think.

Seems we have to come up with some solution or dump/reload will not put things back in the same place for certain unusual configurations.

If you did the above in the template1 database, you would get the same effect. I sent a (partial) fix for this, which included some documentation improvements. However, I posed a question. *digs* [PATCHES] CREATE DATABASE with tablespace fix was the subject. Gavin
