I'm not sure whether you're referring to me or Lockhart, but if the former: I don't say that we must have a working automatic build process (though it's surely a high priority). What I do say is that we must have a reasonably up-to-date version of the development docs posted at the canonical place for same. Else, beta testers will not know what to test, and so the whole notion of a beta test period is rendered meaningless. If the docs situation were the only thing holding up beta, I'd say do a manual build and install and get on with it. But it seems we have some other problems too, so Marc and Vince have some breathing room to finish fixing the server configuration issues... regards, tom lane
