Re: pgsql-server/ oc/src/sgml/reference.sgml oc/sr ...

I am testing a new method for applying patches. Basically, I have test
script that does:

    . /etc/profile
    pgstop
    rm -r /u/pg/data
    pgmakeall -c &&
    aspg initdb &&
    pgstart &&
    newdb test &&
    cd /pg/test/regress &&
    gmake clean &&
    aspg gmake all runtest
    newdb test

Unfortunately, it takes quite a while to run, so I typically run it only
after I have applied a batch of patches, and usually I can clean up a
compiler warning or regression omission.  These patches were different,
and I am still trying to figure out when to run the full test script.

As it is, I have spent all day testing the IPv6 patch, and just compiled
a debug version of libc to continue testing, and I am not even done.  I
wanted to do advocacy stuff today too.  :-(
