Обсуждение: Call for BOFs Linux World Expo Boston
I'd like to set up a BOF with any of the developers who are interested in Boston at the Linux World Expo coming up at the end of February. I don't have anything specific in mind and would like to get something going. Any takers? Some of the things I'm currently working on are OLTP and DSS performance testing of PostgreSQL 8.0 with futexes on ia-32 (and hopefully ia64) platforms, and more filesystems with different mount options.

[ CC to advocacy.] Sure, I would like to be a part of it. I could talk about our 8.0 features and perhaps what we expect for 8.1. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

No, not really. The only things I think we know we want for 8.1 is better integrated auto-vacuum and 2-phase commit. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

Those are quite significant features, definitely worth another release. Is there some way to mark this kind of stuff on the TODO list? Right now things are marked, essentially, "might get done eventually," and "handled in the coming release." Maybe some marker like "slated for version m.n" would be good. :) Also, is there a separate patch queueueue for "things that didn't make the upcoming release?"

I though that one was pending review as well. And the completion of exception-handling for functions based on savepoints. -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

If we actually had such a schedule and people paid to meet it, such
markings might mean something. The truth of the matter is that the
TODO list is just a collection of things that some people think might
be good things to work on eventually. Reading more into it than that
is a mistake, because there is no schedule.

What about it? We never actually got one, according to my mailbox.
I was a tad concerned about the speed penalty associated with possibly
checking during every commit, but in the absence of seeing a patch it's
impossible to say if that worry is justified or not.

I agree with Tom on both points, userspace quote and TODO list items. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Lane wrote: > Josh Berkus <josh@agliodbs.com> writes: > > What about the User Space quota patch? > > What about it?
