So is it firm policy that changes that require a catversion updateI have already
suggested to core that we should insist on 8.1 not requiring an initdb,
so as to ensure that people will migrate up to it easily from 8.0.
cannot be made during the 8.1 cycle?
feel this is solely core's decision anyway ... what do the assembled
hackers think?
(Needless to say, it would be good to get this sorted out early on in
the 8.1 development cycle, to avoid the need to revert patches at some
point down the line. For those of us working on large projects that
will definitely require an initdb, it would also be good to know -- as
this policy will likely prevent that work from getting into 8.1)
Yes, it has to be decided one way or the other soon. the 8.1 development cycle, to avoid the need to revert patches at some
point down the line. For those of us working on large projects that
will definitely require an initdb, it would also be good to know -- as
this policy will likely prevent that work from getting into 8.1)
One way to have our cake and eat it too would be for someone to
resurrect pg_upgrade during this devel cycle. Anyone feel like
working on that?
about it in the recent past. In fact I have opend a pgfoundry project for
that exact work.
