Thread: Anyone looking to be completed for 8.2?
SoC Mentors, Feature freeze is officially 2 weeks away. Just to check, are there any SoC projects which look to be both: a) generally applicable enough to be in 8.2, and b) near-production quality by the end of SoC? We said at the beginning of SoC that we'd re-evaluate near feature freeze time if we wanted to wait for an SoC feature; is there anything? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco
My project is doing what it should do. Still missing one feature i want to enter before people will start to use it but other than that i tested it extensively. It can take a few days. still needs a lot of code clean ups and i need to move it from 8.1 dynamic loaded function interface to 8.2 but i am guessing it shouldn't be something difficult? The code cleanups and some more features will be finished by the end of soc. Is there anything else to do than just copying the files into contrib? Aside from the obvious full disjunction functionality i have a feeling people will benefit from the code itself as an example since it uses many aspects of postgresql.

Sorry for the noise, but I haven't seen this on -patches. Is it in now? Should we be extending feature freeze?

Practically i moved it to beta. I am still left to document the code better and perhaps improve the error messages and clean some code fragments but it is finished feature wise and i've done a lot of testing on it. Do you need anything from me to put it in contrib or you copy it directly from pgfoundry? On Saturday 29 July 2006 02:35, Jim Nasby wrote: > Sorry for the noise, but I haven't seen this on -patches.

You need to send it as a patch to pgsql-patches for code review. Include a description of what it is and pointers on how to use it. Also make note that you think it should be added to contrib with reasons why. You also need to do this pretty much today... code freeze is Aug 1, so if something isnt seen before then, it's not likely to get in.

I don't like last minute things so i'll pass on this one. I am sure 8.2.x will come soon and i'll have another chance.

You should submit it to -patches. Jonah (he's your mentor, right?) should explain the procedure. Let me know ASAP if you can't reach Jonah (I know he had some travel plans). --Josh

As Josh said, that's not how point releases work. It's fine to submit a patch that still needs some work, but you really need to get the initial patch in before Aug. 1st. Just mention any pending work in the initial submission (ie: still needs documentation, no regression, what-have-you).

The patch was sent to [PATCHES] yesterday so hopefully it will get in before the feature freeze. It includes regression tests. Only some code documentation issues are left. I almost finished it completely but i sent the patch first to get it accepted before i'll merge the rest.
