Thread: Re: [ADMIN] 8.2.4 patches? (fwd)
Seems we should have a web site that shows our CVS logs in an
easily-readable form.

There are a couple of different queries that people would be interested
in:
* the full cvs2cl log between any two release points;
* the cvs2cl log from latest release to branch tip.
I do not think it's appropriate to stick this into the tarballs, as
there's an awful lot of noise in the logs (eg, docs tweaks, reverted
patches, trivial code cleanups); our practice of generating a condensed
release-notes page is a large public service in my eyes. But +1 to
providing a web page from which the detailed answers could be generated
easily.
BTW, cvs2cl (at least the version I use) works fine against a remote
repository, so it's not like Ray couldn't have gotten the answer for
himself. But a web page would be more user-friendly.

Should we include this as a bz2 file stored in the release / source directory? I agree it shouldn't be in the tarball itself, but having it along side of it would be okay ... - ---- Marc G.

I would like to see it in HTML on a web site --- colorization is bonus points. ;-) -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://postgres.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +
