Re: Proposal: 7.2b2 today

Okay ... with everything that has been going on, hardware/server wise,
this whole release cycle has turned into one big nightmare ...

Unless someone has something they are sitting on, I'd like to wrap up a
7.2b2 this afternoon, and do a proper release announcement for it like
didn't happen for 7.2b1 ...

Anyone object?

Marc,

I suggest to announce beta @ freshmeat.net and slashdot.org also.

Regards,

Oleg

First of all, you have my sympathies. Moving servers around is never easy,
and you have really handled it well, all things considered.

Sounds good. Can you hold the wide release announcement until the mirrors
populate, though? Especially if an announcement is made to freshmeat.....

Although that may be exactly what was meant by 'a proper release
announcement'........:-)

I've generally tried to do a release packaging one day, with a quick
announce to -hackers to test it, and then a full announce everywhere about
a day after that ... but missed the 'full annonunce' step for beta1 :)

I have been working with Tom on some pgindent issues and have made
slight improvements to the script. Because we are early in beta and no
one has outstanding patches, I would like to run it again and commit the
changes. It should improve variables defined as structs and alignment
of include/catalog/*.h files.

I will commit shortly. Thanks.

I am all done. Thanks.

Also, I will start maintaining a list of open items for 7.2 like I have
done for previous releases. It will be at:

ftp://candle.pha.pa.us/pub/postgresql/open_items

Let me add that the majority of the pgindent changes was from:

struct {
int x;
} var;

to:

struct {
int x;
} var;

and this:

#endif /* demo */

to this:

#endif /* demo */

Plus some minor cleanup for breakage from the previous run.

Considering the size of the diff you mailed me, I'd say "hold off until
someone else has looked at this". This is obviously not a small change.

Sure, it is at:

ftp://candle.pha.pa.us/pub/postgresql/diff

99% is space tighening.

Again, why are they called "b" and no longer "beta"?
