Agreed... :-)  But BSD isn't Unix either - not officially. [Waits for
Marc to disagree, again...]

Not to mention the fact that at least one release of Linux did go through
full Posix certification and is thus allowed to be called Unix :-)

Of course it is.  It has direct lineage back the Bell Labs.  There is
no AT&T code left in but you can most definitely say "BSD Unix" where
you can't say "Linux Unix."  For many years Berkeley was the main
development hotbed for Unix.  In fact, BSD was eventually fed back
into SVR4.

Posix != Unix.  NT is a Posix system.  So is OpenVMS.

BTW, which version of Linux was Posix certified and who paid for it?

	Actually, I don't...Linux had a much quicker start into the Free
market...the *BSD crowd had to content with the almost year(?) of legal
deliberations as to whether or not they were even allowed to distribute
and work on it :(  Linux had no such problems, since Linux had no
history...no roots :)

	I believing the only "official" Unix is the one produced by the
company that this year has decided it wants to own the name, isn't it? :)

	Actually, my understanding is that its allowed to be called a
Posix-compliant Operating System... :)

	Ummmm, I don't know the version, but I do know that this was the

Nope - I'm not even sure SCO Open Server is UNIX - and afaik THEY now own
the trademark papers.

Be VERY happy that neither Linux nor BSD is a "real" unix.  Those systems
are seriously restrictive and clumsy (I suspect SCO is close - sorry, I've
had to do a lot of tech-service work on SCO systems recently.  Not even
Solaris is _THAT_ bad... (close though).  Guess I just miss my GNU and BSD
tools too much *grin*)

if you were just to talk about programs, Linux is a superset of
everything (except Irix at this time).  If you were to talk about
networking, BSD is the standard that Linux follows.  Who wants STREAMS
anyways?  If you're talking API interface (and here's where I bate
non-glibc users), GLIBC-2 is the standard for Unix98+.  (I still don't see
why postgres doesn't support it... though I haven't gotten around to
writing a patch (or looking recently)...).

*sigh* Postgres runs just fine on a bug-free version of glibc2. We've heard
rumors that 2.0.7-pre1 from Debian is close enough, but I can't duplicate that
on my RH5.0 production box with Cristian's RH glibc2-2.0.7 package.

btw Cristian, that library in /home/gafton has most files labeled as 2.0.6; is
that expected or are there possibly some more patches available? I tried
installing on my RH5.0 production system and still see the

  select '1 min'::timespan;

problem. Haven't had any luck picking out the math code and duplicating the
problem in a 10 line program yet either :(

Also, v6.3 has some extensive new documentation which you will want to get
into /usr/doc, including 4 hardcopy and html manuals. There is a Makefile in
the source doc/ distribution to extract them. Let me know if you want more
details.

You're right about the rewrite thing. You're quite wrong about the
benchmarks, though. Linux's tcp/ip stack is known to be _now_ the fastest
around re: internal latency. But there are things that are balancing this
when compared with *BSD. Things like Linux's nfs server which sucks big
time or sockets creation time which only got better in the development
releases. 

Things are relative. But again, when you say that it was rewritten so many
times in the last 6 years you have to remember the Linux is barely six
years old :-)

Thought you might like to know, Tom, with Cristian's glibc2-2.0.7 rpm I
downloaded yesterday, I was able to get:

mydb=> select '1 min'::timespan;
?column?
--------
@ 1 min
(1 row)

And all time-related regression tests succeeded.

That was with gcc-2.7.2.3, (-O3 -m486), _however_, when compiled with
gcc-2.8.0 (-O3 -mpentium), all that nasty time stuff just crept back again,
don't know why.

BTW, something I'm a bit concerned about -- re: the ``~30 sec deficit'' in
regression test timing results you mentioned a couple of days ago -- I'm also
seeing it here between the official 6.3 and a Feb-15 snapshot (no, LOCALE's
always undef) on both Linux and FreeBSD, and can consistently reproduce it,
with the same test suite (the one from the official 6.3).

And thanks for the docs!

That's good news, but I'm annoyed I haven't been able to get this result myself
yet. Did you use the redhat beta rpm for postgres, or did you do a clean install
from sources?

I ended up convincing myself that most of the time difference was the overhead
in compiling with USE_LOCALE turned on. The RH rpm is compiled with it on, and
most of my testing is done with it turned off, but I had turned it on to track
down problems with the money type. Anyway, my times are now within ~10sec of the
shortest time I had ever seen (of course, it's easy to shave time off when you
skip essential code; I'll take the 10sec hit :)

> And thanks for the docs!

Sure. Consider finding something which interests you to write about for the next
release :))

clean install from source, that's why I listed the compiler versions and
flags. Isn't that what you've been trying to get it to work?

I thought about doing some more testing and possibly tracking it down, and see
whether that was caused by some bugfixes somewhere, but without all the
snapshots from perhaps Feb-20 all the way up to the official release, it's a
bit hard.

No. I've been developing on RH4.2 (making source builds on that), and trying to
use rpms for RH5.0 built at RedHat to verify the glibc2 performance. May have to
do  a build from source to get to the bottom of things, but I'm hoping not...

Well, have you tried the CVSup static package on RH5.0 yet? Don't know if it
would work, but if it did it would allow you to get snapshots as you want; in
fact I'm doing that right now trying to track down a problem introduced sometime
after 980112 and before 980201. Downloading 980120 right now as I (sort of)
binary search through the possibilities.

Just thought you'd like another data point.  I just installed Cristian's
glibc2-2.0.7 packages.  Like Thomas, I still get:

	postgres=> select '1 min'::timespan;
	?column?    
	------------
	@ 60.00 secs
	(1 row)

Without recompiling.  With recompiling, I get:

	postgres=> select '1 min'::timespan;
	?column?
	--------
	@ 1 min 
	(1 row)


I'm using gcc 2.7.2.3 -O2.

Well, this narrows it down a lot! Wonder why it requires a recompile?? afaik there
isn't any static library linking involved...
