Looks good, but I don't think we want to abandon OSX 10.2 support
just yet. I'll revise this to use a configure probe for dlopen.
My inclination is to apply this one now, since it only affects OSX
and should be easily testable, but to hold off on your other patch
for portable Bonjour support until 8.3 devel starts. The portability
implications of that one are unclear, and I don't know how to test it
either, so I think putting it in now is too much risk.

Maybe we can abandon Mac OS X 10.2 in 8.3 and later? And not back- port these patches to the 7.x, 8.0, and 8.1 branches? BTW, I think the configure probe (only on Darwin, correct?) should test for the existence of <dlfcn.h>. > My inclination is to apply this one now, since it only affects OSX > and should be easily testable, but to hold off on your other patch > for portable Bonjour support until 8.3 devel starts.

The Bonjour patch wasn't intended to be portable to other platforms just yet. As submitted, it has the same risks/advantages as this dlopen() patch -- it only works on 10.3 and later, but isn't deprecated in 10.4. If we want to keep 10.2 support for Bonjour, we can test for both DNSServiceDiscovery.h and dns_sd.h in ./configure, and prefer dns_sd.h if it's found (which will be the case for 10.3 and 10.4) but use DNSServiceDiscovery.h if not (which will be the case for 10.2). Thanks! - Chris

I don't see any particular reason to abandon 10.2 at all, as long as
all it's costing us is a couple dozen lines in dynloader/darwin.c.
As for back-porting, I don't see a strong reason to do that either.
Apple will presumably maintain the compatibility APIs for a long
while yet.

I realized that configure is already probing for dlopen(), so I just
used HAVE_DLOPEN. We can add a separate test for the header file if
it proves really necessary, but I bet it's not.

The Darwin dlopen() patch has already been applied. Where are we on the Bonjour patch? Do we want code that works on Darwin 10.2 and 10.3? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Campbell wrote: > On Oct 8, 2006, at 14:29, Tom Lane wrote: > > > Looks good, but I don't think we want to abandon OSX 10.2 support > > just yet.

With no new version from the author and no working version for all supported OS/X version, I am saving this patch for 8.4. This has been saved for the 8.4 release: http://momjian.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/pgpatches_hold --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Campbell wrote: > On Oct 8, 2006, at 14:29, Tom Lane wrote: > > > Looks good, but I don't think we want to abandon OSX 10.2 support > > just yet.

Ah, I already had this on the TODO list with URLs, so I will not put it in the hold queue. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Campbell wrote: > On Oct 8, 2006, at 14:29, Tom Lane wrote: > > > Looks good, but I don't think we want to abandon OSX 10.2 support > > just yet.

Actually, can we now say we only support OS/X 10.3 and later. If so, we can use the patch unchanged. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Momjian wrote: > > Ah, I already had this on the TODO list with URLs, so I will not put it > in the hold queue. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Chris Campbell wrote: > > On Oct 8, 2006, at 14:29, Tom Lane wrote: > > > > > Looks good, but I don't think we want to abandon OSX 10.2 support > > > just yet.
