Getting that much closer to RC1, Beta5 was packaged up yesterday after
several failed attempts at making a clean Beta4.

This Beta requires an initdb, due to some changes required to the system
tables ...

At this point, we are looking for confirmation that all the platforms are
building and running the regression tests correctly, and, unless any major
bug reports are submitted, any further changes to this branch will be
either documentation related, or tweaks to ensure as many platforms work
as possible before release.

Beta can be found on all pertinent mirrors, including:

	ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/beta

Hi Marc,

v7.3b5 builds and passes the testsuite under SuSE Linux on the
following platforms:

	i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390, s390x, x86_64

For ppc64, and s390x I need patches for tas() which I have subitted to
the [Patches] list, but they have been rejected for 7.3.

Also the geometry test needs patching on some of the platforms due to
variances in the floating point precision. I have not submitted these
patches yet, but could do so if desired.

All is well with 7.3b5 on Mac OS X 10.2.1 (Jaguar) on a PowerBook G4 
[gcc (GCC) 3.1 20020420 (prerelease)].
