  1. Bug #833: prep_buildtree and solaris ln

    PostgreSQL Bugs List <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> — 2002-12-03T01:25:31Z

    Nathan Mueller (nate@cs.wisc.edu) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
prep_buildtree and solaris ln

Long Description
The linking command in config/prep_buildtree doesn't work with /usr/ucb/ln on solaris.  If line 36 is changed from:

ln -fs "$item" "$buildtree/$filename" || exit 1

to

ln -f -s "$item" "$buildtree/$filename" || exit 1

It'll work fine.

Sample Code

     'ln -fs' doesn't do the same thing as 'ln -s -f' on Solaris?  Are you
sure?  This is the first we are hearing this.

/bin/ln works as expected, but /usr/ucb/ln requires the latter form.

(We BSD fanatics tend to have /usr/ucb before /bin in path to
get the 'correct' behaviour from commands like df and ps...)

    I would like to see someone else have this problem before making such an
unusual change.

  5. List of bugs

    ILIR GASHI <shmeki_ig@yahoo.com> — 2002-12-04T15:15:44Z

    Hi,

My name is Ilir Gashi and I am a final year student at
City University, London, UK. I am doing the final year
project, titled "Failure diversity between PostgreSQL
and Interbase", which is part of an ongoing reserach
at the University the aim of which is to test if there
is a gain in reliability, performance and
fault-tolerance from employing multiple diverse SQL
servers. For my part of the project a list of known
bugs which cause a failure of PostgreSQL will be run
on the Interbase server to test whether a coincident
failure also occurs in this server. And vice versa, a
list of known bugs of Interbase will be run on
PostgreSQL so that coincidence of failures can be
tested. The results of these tests will be collected
and summarized so that a valid conclusion can be drawn
on whether there is a gain in reliability from
employing PostgreSQL and Interbase together in a
fault-tolerant SQL server. 
In order to do the project I need a list of bugs for
one of the versions of PostgreSQL. I already obtained
the list of known bugs for the Interbase 6.0 from the
Firebird website.

My question is do you maintain a list of known bugs
with the detailed descriptions of the causes of the
bug. I would be grateful if you could send me the list
of known bugs for versions 7.2 and 7.3.

Sorry for the long email, and thank you in advance,

Ilir Gashi

We do not.  You could grovel through the archives of pgsql-bugs
though...

I think the TODO list would give you some hints too.  I think all
known bugs that are on that list.

    Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. I was looking through
the archives of pgsql-bugs and I saw that the number
of bugs reported is 830 something. Does that mean that
these bugs are all for the latest version or for all 
the versions. If it is for all versions than in some
cases it wasn't specified as to for which version was
the bug found for, so do I just assume it is for the
latest one or contact you to find out. 
One last question. Since my project has a time limit
for completion I need to to reproduce only about 100
bugs during my tests. Do you think there are that many
known bugs so far for the latest version. This would
help me to know, since I need to know which version of
postgres to install and add to the existing test
harness which alredy has Interbase 6, MsSQL and
Oracle.

Thanks in advance,

Ilir
