I didn't want to mention that, but one big problem we have is that we have no way to know what platforms are still using which configure and pgport functions. It is very possible that 25% of what we have isn't needed anymore, but we have no way of knowing which part. We can start removing stuff and find out who complains in 8.2 but that seems error-prone. My guess is that we are going to have to wait for our useless percentage to reach 50% and then we comment out everything and run it through the build farm until they all work, then run a release with heavy beta testing. However, at this stage, I don't think the cost/benefit is worth it. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [email protected] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
