Hi all<br /><br /> I just noticed that the buildfarm "register" page is pretty seriously out of date. It mentions CVS
andCVSup.<br /><br /><a
href="http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/register-form.pl">http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/register-form.pl</a><br
/><br/><br /> Proposed changes:<br /><br /><br /> "* your machine will need to be able to contact <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"href="http://www.pgbuildfarm.org">http://www.pgbuildfarm.org</a> either directly or via
proxy,and it will need access to a PostgreSQL CVS repository, either the one at postgresql.org or a mirror (you can set
upyour own mirror using CSVup on a Linux or FreeBSD machine - this is recommended)."<br /><br /> should be<br /><br />
"*Your machine to be able to contact <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.pgbuildfarm.org">http://www.pgbuildfarm.org</a>either directly or via proxy"<br /> "* Any firewall
yourmachine is behind must be able to pull from either git.postgresql.org or github.com over HTTP on port 80 or over
thegit:// protocol on port 9418"<br /> "* You must have [git installed]( <a
href="http://git-scm.com/downloads">http://git-scm.com/downloads</a>)."<br/><br /><br /><br /> "* have a working
Postgresqlbuild environment for your platform (for Windows this means MSys/MinGW with the libz and libintl stuff, and
ideallynative Python and Tcl)."<br /><br /> should be:<br /><br /> "* You need a working PostgreSQL build environment
onyour machine including all required libraries, preferably including development headers for Python, TCL, etc. For
Windowsyou need either Microsoft Visual Studio / Windows SDK or the MinGW/MSys tools, depending on which toolchain you
wantthe buildfarm member to test."<br /> "* Before joining the buildfarm, PostgreSQL must already compile successfully
onyour computer when you compile it manually."<br /><br /><br /><br /> " * Windows only: you will need a native perl
installedas well as the one in the MSys DTK. The one from ActiveState works fine."<br /><br /> should probably be:<br
/><br/> "* Windows only: ActiveState Perl or Strawberry Perl must be installed"<br /><br /><br /><br /> Also, it should
probablymention that one machine can run multiple builds with different configurations.<br /><br /><br /><br /> --<br
