OK, it appears people are still having initdb problems after my patch.
I have received several reports of problems. Someone reported a
regression test problem with contraints.sql. I could reproduce it here,
and fixed it.
The other problems with initdb itself are more difficult. People seem
to have a variety of initdb failures, and I am at a loss to find a
cause.
I realize this is a major problem, and I want to fix it as soon as I
can. I am running BSDI under Intel, and everything works fine, so I am
really confused.
First, people have to do a 'make clean', 'make', and 'initdb' after my
patch, but people are already doing that.
Keith Parks <emkxp01@mtcc.demon.co.uk> reported problems right away, and
I tried to recommend solutions. His most recent change was to blow away
his entire cvs tree and re-download it, on the assumption that it was
not matching the main cvs tree somehow. Keith, did that fix the
problem?
I have just done the same, to make sure I am in sync, and everything
still works as it should.
What platform are people using. What failures? Are they consistent?
Can someone give me telnet access to a machine that does not work?
Marc, does postgresql.org machine do initdb properly?
Please report problems to me directly, and I will keep trying to find
the cause.
