- identify some people with the problem and talk to them for: 1) get a way to reproduce the error (a lot dificult, IIRC we try a few times i fail to fail) or 2) get their support for test - commit it for the first alpha release, or the just talked nigthly stable builds... - let the tests begin :) so, apply it just before the alpha and if it not works remove it just after the alpha... last time i build a win32 binary (not whole package) for windows users to test a patch they disappear very quickly... -- Atentamente, Jaime Casanova Soporte y capacitación de PostgreSQL Asesoría y desarrollo de sistemas Guayaquil - Ecuador Cel. +59387171157 -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
