Обсуждение: 8.0 beta status
AFAIK there are no major patches still outstanding, with the exception
of the Windows-symlinks patch that arrived today from Andreas. Bruce
and I both think that's worth getting in, if no one has any objections,
but otherwise we essentially have 8.0beta1 code.
The documentation, however, desperately needs work still; and Marc would
like to get some of the postgresql.org domains shifted over to the
newly-installed venus server before we go beta. So the plan right now
is for a couple days' push on documentation, wrap beta1 on Sunday,
announce it Monday.
If anyone has time to work on docs over the next two days, please show
up on pgsql-docs and let us know what you want to work on. (And of
course it's still open season for bug-fix patches.)
regards, tom lane

I've fixed dbsize here and will send it off once I get a second to test it with multiple tablespaces. I haven't looked at oid2name. Bruce put together some ideas a few months back on what we want from oid2name now (somewhere around here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2004-06/msg00263.php). Were there any other suggestions?

Tom, I haven't had a comment on the 'restoring LOB comments' patch, nor on the two tablespace failures that Gavin and I brought up (Or the original schema tablespace problem you found when you committed). They could probably be post-beta perhaps though... Chris

Yeah, those are all bug fixes and okay for post-beta I think. But which
two tablespace failures are you thinking of exactly? The last couple
weeks have been a bit of a blur for me...

(Note that "TABLESPACE pg_default" does definitely not mean either of these.) This is fixable with some special syntax but is it worth the trouble? regards, tom lane

The other tablespace problem is if you drop a tablespace that schema in another db uses, it's broken still I think.

Seems we have to come up with some solution or dump/reload will not put things back in the same place for certain unusual configurations.

The failure case is where the template database has a conflicting
table. You didn't show us where you created that table, but it
evidently was not in template1.

If you did the above in the template1 database, you would get the same effect. I sent a (partial) fix for this, which included some documentation improvements. However, I posed a question. *digs* [PATCHES] CREATE DATABASE with tablespace fix was the subject. Gavin
