Re: [HACKERS] Linux/Alpha and pgsql....

    I downloaded today's (13th) snapshot, and it compiled and ran
initdb just fine, right out of the box. So it looks like the patches made
it in just fine.

    Unfortunetly, I will not have patches to fix this until after the
15th deadline. I am too busy with school work (finals in two weeks!) at
the moment to take the time to get it done. I can't promise them anytime
earlier than a month from now. But, for the moment things are working
reasonably well (from a Linux/Alpha standpoint), and so while the current
state isn't pretty, it will have to do for now. Sorry.

    Also, in actually testing pgsql on Linux/Alpha on some real world
applications, I found most everything works. Though I hit a snag, that
when ever I try to select a datetime field from a table, postgres throws
an arthimetic trap, and the psql core dumps. Just a data point for you
all.

    Thanks, and TTYL.
