Hello,
I'd like to put myself forward to test Dave's alpha5 windows binaries
tomorrow. I use that platform for about 75% of my pg work, and others
tend to have limited enthusiasm for it (as I guess I would if I had
the luxury of being able to), so that seems to be where I would be of
most use. I seem to recall Josh complaining about a lack of windows
testers too.
What areas are of particular concern? I've been following 9.0's
development from only a fairly high level.
I suppose I'll try out my 8.4 app, which uses dblink and hstore, on
9.0 alpha5 and see if anything breaks, and play around with the
features that are new to 9.0, as outlined on the postgres wiki for the
"SFPUG Beta Test Day". This seems a little bit haphazard though. Could
someone give me some additional direction?
You should be aware that I'm capable of building postgres on windows,
if that's useful. I might run the libpqxx 3.1 tests too, if that
helps.
Regards,
Peter Geoghegan
