Does anyone know what needs to be done? If so, and you'd like to reply with a list of tasks, I can put in a little time this week and maybe next starting down that road. If it's a big job, I likely can't do it all myself, but I'm certainly happy to help out! Best, David

Unless you're an expert with GForge, there's probably not much you can do (and we do have one GForge developer who has kindly agreed to work on the upgrade. The current issue is one of hardware platform which I'm about to go solve myself. Once that is sorted, and our GForge guy has assessed what needs to be done, there may be more tasks that you could help out with. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

I did submit a bunch of bugs/fixes for the soon-to-be-released version some time ago. I'm not sure if they have been corrected, but IMHO, many of them are "show stoppers", there's also a bunch of data type issues with PG 8.3 and GForge - I'm also not sure if they've been fixed. I'm assuming we'd want to move to the latest release... I would agree that its definitely not a small project. There have been lots of changes, esp to the SQL code, and several less-used facets might still be untested. > Once that is sorted, and our GForge guy has assessed what needs to be > done, there may be more tasks that you could help out with. > If there's a list of tasks, I can probably pick and do some of them... -- Chander Ganesan Open Technology Group, Inc.

Yeah, please let me know. Best, David

There is, but it's a 32 bit box whilst we use 64 bit virtually everywhere else now, making our normal backup system ineffective. We're working out the details of that at the moment. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

Ah, I understand. Thanks for the clarification. Best, David
