I can see that. And it would be pretty hard to keep members of the public from treating the persistent snapshots as releases, and then flooding the lists when they break. So, scratch an idea with unintended consequences. I'll just have to keep the snapshots on our CVS slave. I do hope that the commit-fests will lead to more testing, though, just because people waiting for a specific feature will want to try out the initial commit of that feature. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
