I see that, a couple of years ago, you identified an issue where PL/Java would hang in FreeBSD because PostgreSQL had not been built against libpthread. Do you know whether that was eventually fixed by the maintainer of the port for PostgreSQL itself? That would definitely be important to know. If you would like to do some testing, you could start now with the current outstanding pull requests, or you could wait just a bit. Those PRs are fairly mundane, small fixes. What is currently work in progress and will be my next PR (after those four are merged) is more substantial, aimed at resolving issues 9, 12, 61, 71, and much of the rest of the remaining "painful to install on platform X" issues. The patch also includes new documentation on building and installation, organized to allow for platform-specific detail pages. After that gets merged, though there are still some open issues, I am inclined to propose starting the countdown to a 1.5.0 release. (A separate fix for issue 48 should surely be included as well.) If there's no objection to that proposal, you would then have the obvious high-value time window to test and identify any important issues with respect to FreeBSD before a release, and/or to contribute a FreeBSD-specific page to the documentation if you find any special considerations that you think should be covered there. Also, if you have contacts on the pgsql@freebsd.org port-maintainer team (or if you are *on* that team), that could be a good time to start gauging interest in possibly making PL/Java available in ports. Again, I hope my earlier message didn't sound dismissive. Is this better? :) Thanks, -Chap _______________________________________________ Pljava-dev mailing list Pljava-dev@lists.pgfoundry.org http://lists.pgfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/pljava-dev
