I've posted RPMs for Mandrake, but could not put them in the obvious
place on the FTP site because the permissions do not allow group write
access. Lamar, could you open up that part of the tree to allow group
write permissions? In the meantime, I've placed the files in
/pub/binary/v7.1-Mandrake/.

I've built RPMs for 7.1.1, but perhaps we should wait until 7.1.2 to
post them given the pgtcl problem? Lamar, what are you planning for
7.1.1?

Given my plpgsql screwup, and the dump-7.0-views thing that Philip wants
to fix in pg_dump, I'd say there certainly will be a 7.1.2 pretty soon.
But I think we should wait a couple more days and see if any other bug
reports turn up.  Maybe we should plan for the end of the week?

No changes were necessary :))

The plpgsql one, of course. Got the name wrong...

Great. I'll move things around. btw, I've found that things like "scp"
don't respect a .cshrc umask setting, so you will likely need to check
permissions when you are working in those directories anyway.

Given a quick 7.1.2, I would rather go through the release pain once.  Is it 
just me, or do we have terrible luck with .1 subreleases?  IIRC, 6.2.1 was 
the last good x.y.1 release.  I'm not going to beat a dead horse, here, 
though. :-)

HOWEVER, I _do_ have 7.1.1 RPMs built (minus some minor modifications) for 
RedHat 7.1.  Thomas, would you mind e-mailing me any changes you made to 
anything (other than the version diff)?  I have another patch from Trond to 
apply to the initscript, and more testing would be nice.

If 7.1.2 is over a week away, I'll go ahead and release 7.1.1 RPMs -- but I 
would really like to incorporate any patch to the plpgsql code, Tom, being 
that I am a member of the OpenACS team :-O.  I can easily patch and release 
7.1.1 RPMs that don't have the bug -- not that that is the best idea, by any 
means, but it is for me just about a showstopper.

Or I need to release a 7.1-2 set that includes RPM-specific bugfixes to the 
initscript and files list.

Thomas, which pgtcl problem are you referring to?

FWIW, my extant CHANGELOG entry for the 7.1.1 RPMs currently reads:
* Mon May 07 2001 Lamar Owen <lamar@postgresql.org> <lamar.owen@wgcr.org>
- 7.1.1
- 7.1.1-1 RPM release
- Changes to initscript courtesy Karl DeBisschop
- pg_restore was not in 7.1-1
- pl's back into /usr/lib/pgsql
- use groupadd's -o and -r switches.

As to the group write permissions, Thomas...... The perms on the RPMS subdir 
now set g+w.  Sorry.  I'll need to set my umask a little more appropriately.

Ah. Of course, Idon't use the csh :-).  But I _do_  use scp exclusively to 
copy stuff.
