Hi, Alvaro and all, > this patch hasn't been posted by the author so let's assume > they're not authorizing them to use it.
Not sure what you mean. I am the author and I authorize anyone to do whatever they want with it. > Otherwise, why wouldn't they just post it here instead of doing the absurdly convoluted dance of a github PR? Well, for me submitting a github PR is a well-established and easy-to-do procedure which is the same for all libraries. Posting to a new mailing list definitely is not. I've spent around 15 minutes trying to do a proper reply to the thread and did not succeed. Another reason to post a PR is that we consume libpq via conan, and releasing a new revision of the conan recipe for the same library version is a relatively fast and well-defined process. While waiting for a new version of a library with a patch depends heavily on a particular library. I am not aware of the release cadence of libpq. Anyway, I am very glad there is swift feedback from you guys and I am looking forward to your comments on the proper way to fix the issue! ----- Best regards, Mikhail Matrosov
