Thread: alpha1 bundled -- please verify
Alpha1 has been bundled and is available at http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/alpha/ Please check that it is sane. Then, someone please move this to an appropriate place on the FTP server and make an announcement. See http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Alpha_release_process for process details. I'm out for the rest of the day.

I downloaded it and did a make and make check on a machine without all the packages to build from a source checkout. All 121 tests passed. Anything else I can do to check sanity? (In particular, it sounds like docs are a potential issue, but I'm not sure what I should check.) -Kevin

Docs look good -- installed the HTML docs and manpages. The index seems fine. One little odd thing about the manpages: the SEE ALSO section of VACUUM.7 looks like this: SEE ALSO vacuumdb, Cost-Based Vacuum Delay , The Autovacuum Daemon Strangely, on the text it looks good: PostgreSQL includes an “autovacuum” facility which can automate routine vacuum maintenance. For more informationabout automatic and manual vacuuming, see Section 23.1, “Routine Vacuuming”, in the documentation. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

It looks like all the derived grammar files have been built with bison 2.4.1, which is not what's on svr1 (unless that's been updated recently). I'm not sure that this is something to worry about, but it does mean that people will be testing something that's a bit different from what an "official" tarball would look like. Otherwise it looks good from here. regards, tom lane

I didn't realize that you had prepared special installations of those. Will use those next time.
