Beta1 starting date?

beta1 was very low key ... it was announced here on the list as "its
packaged, try it out" ... there was no big hype about this one, but there
will be for beta2, which will most likely be after Vadim gets those vacuum
fixes in place, and Tom gets those planner fixes ...

Since there are going to already be a number of fixes in beta2, I will
wait until beta2 to release any RPM's.  I am also continuing to get
feedback about the packaging -- many thanks to all who are participating
in that discussion!  I remember the one or two comments I got on the 7.0
RPM changes (from 6.5), and the change is positive this time.

I would like to make a comment on the stop script in the RPMS. It uses
killproc function to kill postmaster. killproc sends SIGTERM to stop
postmaster. It's good. However if postmaster won't die (for example,
some users are still using psql), it then sends SIGKILL signal to
postmaster. This is extremely dangerous since there is no chance for
postmaster to clean up resources in this case. I think the signal
number should be SIGINT (fast shutdown) or SIGQUIT (immediate
shutdown).
