Bruce, are you planning on keeping a ToDo list for the 6.3 release as
you have in (at least) the past few releases? That will make sure that
we don't leave something out. As a start:
Commit sgml document sources(Thomas)
Commit html documents(Thomas)
Commit postscript documents(Thomas)
Fix aggregates in views reported by Brett
Include subselect regression tests(Thomas, unless someone else wants it
:)
Fix crashes from backend collisions reported by Tom H.
Fix isinf.c irix port problem reported by Andrew(Marc)
Check triggers regression test(Vadim)
Check select_views regression test
Test ecpg new struct features(Michael)
Test big-endian/little-endian operation(Tatsuo?) I don' know if we need
this...
Confirm ports for v6.3 (need this soon for docs):
_ aix4.2 - already fixed? what are actual versions??
_ aix3.5
_ bsdi
_ freebsd,etc (I don't know the different bsd variants)
_ 68k/bsdXXX (Macintosh port) never successful? Needed 68k locking
code??
_ dgux
_ hpux9.0.x
_ hpux10.20
_ alpha/unix - currently broken?
_ alpha/linux - currently broken?
_ ppc/mklinux(Tatsuo?)
* ix86/linux(Thomas) - confirmed working
_ ix86/solaris
_ irix5
_ irix6
_ nextstep - not tested? not working??
_ sco
_ sparc/solaris
_ sparc/sunos
_ svr4(which platforms?)
_ ultrix4
_ univel
If a platform does not get on this list, and have a confirmed
compile/regression test, then it will go on the unsupported list for
v6.3 :( The regression tests do not have to pass completely (since
there are a couple of remaining beta problems) but the port should
compile, run, and produce reasonable results for most tests.
Can people commit to checking on each platform? (I know some have been
done already...)
