It should be ready to go into CVS by the end of the month. That will include: logging all operations except for rtree and GiST, archival of logfiles (with new postgresql.conf params), headers on the logfiles to verify the system that created them, standalone backend recovery to a point-in-time, and a rudimentary hot backup capability. I could use some advice on the proper way to add tests to configure.in, given that the autoconf output is in CVS. Would you ever want a patch to include the generated 'configure' file? Related to that, the other place I need advice is on adding Ted Tso's LGPL'd UUID library (stolen from e2fsprogs) to the source. Are we allowed to use this? There is a free OSF/DCE spec for UUID's, so I can re-implement the library if required. We also haven't discussed commands for backup/restore, but I will use what I think is appropriate and we can change the grammar if needed. The initial hot-backup capability will require the database to be in read-only mode and use tar for backup, and I will add the ability to allow writes later. Does this sound like a reasonable timeframe/feature-set to make the 7.3 release? -- J. R.
