7.2.3 patching done
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> — 2002-09-30T21:02:51Z
I'm done making back-patches for 7.2.3. Over to you, Bruce ... attached is the REL7_2_STABLE branch history since 7.2.2. regards, tom lane 2002-09-30 16:57 tgl * src/backend/utils/adt/: date.c, datetime.c (REL7_2_STABLE): Back-patch fixes to work around broken mktime() in recent glibc releases. 2002-09-30 16:47 tgl * src/backend/: commands/async.c, tcop/postgres.c (REL7_2_STABLE): Back-patch fix for bad SIGUSR2 interrupt handling during backend shutdown. 2002-09-30 16:24 tgl * src/: backend/storage/lmgr/s_lock.c, include/storage/s_lock.h (REL7_2_STABLE): Back-patch fix for correct TAS operation on multi-CPU PPC machines. 2002-09-30 16:18 tgl * src/backend/: bootstrap/bootstrap.c, storage/buffer/buf_init.c, storage/lmgr/lwlock.c, storage/lmgr/proc.c (REL7_2_STABLE): Back-patch fix for 'can't wait without a PROC structure' failures: remove separate ShutdownBufferPoolAccess exit callback, and do the work in ProcKill instead, before we delete MyProc. 2002-09-30 15:55 tgl * src/: backend/access/transam/clog.c, backend/access/transam/xlog.c, backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c, backend/tcop/utility.c, include/access/xlog.h (REL7_2_STABLE): Back-patch fix to ensure a checkpoint occurs before truncating CLOG, even if no recent WAL activity has occurred. 2002-09-30 15:45 tgl * src/backend/commands/vacuum.c (REL7_2_STABLE): Back-patch fix to not change pg_database.datvacuumxid or truncate CLOG when an unprivileged user runs VACUUM. 2002-09-20 17:37 tgl * src/backend/utils/adt/ruleutils.c (REL7_2_STABLE): Back-patch fix for failure to dump views containing FULL JOIN USING. The bug is not present in CVS tip due to cleanup of JOIN handling, but 7.2.* is broken.

Hello! BTW, is it possible to have just patch against previous version (to reduce traffic and CPU)? I.e. something like 7.2.2-7.2.3.diff.gz? -- WBR, Yury Bokhoncovich, Senior System Administrator, NOC of F1 Group. Phone: +7 (3832) 106228, ext.140, E-mail: byg@center-f1.ru.

In some releases, it is possible, in others we add/remove files and it isn't possible. I think because it isn't always possible we normally don't do it. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

Yea, that was sort of my point. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

BTW, I had no problems with patching Linux kernel this way (e.g. having vanilla 2.2.16 then sequentially patch for 2.2.17, .18, .19, .20, .21, .22) though there were added directories. -- WBR, Yury Bokhoncovich, Senior System Administrator, NOC of F1 Group.
