In the general case I think plenty of people update and build from CVS regularly. It's great that the FSM has been in for a couple months before the beta, we've uncovered a couple problems which could easily have slipped through the betas for example. In the case of hot standby and replication I'm not really sure that logic applies. It takes quite a lot of work to test these features and they don't turn up problems in other areas when you're not running them. So I doubt it would really have helped in this case. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
