Unreported or problem platforms:

Linux 2.0.x MIPS   7.0 2000-04-13 (Tatsuo has lost machine)
mklinux PPC750     7.0 2000-04-13, Tatsuo Ishii
NetBSD m68k        7.0 2000-04-10 (Henry has lost machine)
NetBSD Sparc       7.0 2000-04-13, Tom I. Helbekkmo
QNX 4.25 x86       7.0 2000-04-01, Dr. Andreas Kardos
Ultrix MIPS        7.1 2001-??-??, Alexander Klimov

mklinux has failed Tatsuo's testing afaicr. Demote to unsupported?

Any NetBSD partisans who can do testing or solicit testing from the
NetBSD crowd? Same for OpenBSD?

QNX is known to have problems with 7.1. Any hope of fixing for 7.1.1? Is
there anyone able to work on it? If not, I'll move to the unsupported
list.

nope, purely default ... it was only the x86 platform that I had a bugger
with getting a clean regress working on ...

My (uncommitted) updates to the real list show 2.4.2 in the comments
section. I may remove all mention of versions, since it seems that most
released versions of x86 Linux run PostgreSQL successfully.

Comments?

This should fix that:

Re: Third call for platform testing (linux 2.4.x)

I just built and tested RC1 on Linux 2.4.2, with glibc-2.2.2 and
gcc-2.95.2 on a Debian 2.2+ x86 system.  ("+" implying some packages
from "unstable".)

I configured it --with-perl --with-openssl --with-CXX.
It built without errors, but with a few warnings.

This one seemed (portably) odd:
----------
 In file included from gram.y:43:
 lex.plpgsql_yy.c: In function `plpgsql_yylex':
 lex.plpgsql_yy.c:972: warning: label `find_rule' defined but not used
----------

And this:
----------
 ar crs libpq.a `lorder fe-auth.o fe-connect.o fe-exec.o fe-misc.o fe-print.o fe-lobj.o pqexpbuffer.o dllist.o pqsignal.o | tsort`
 tsort: -: input contains a loop:

 tsort: dllist.o
----------

And this:
----------
 ar crs libecpg.a `lorder execute.o typename.o descriptor.o data.o error.o prepare.o memory.o connect.o misc.o | tsort`
 tsort: -: input contains a loop:

 tsort: connect.o
 tsort: execute.o
 tsort: data.o
----------

And this:

----------
 ar crs libplpgsql.a `lorder pl_parse.o pl_handler.o pl_comp.o pl_exec.o pl_funcs.o | tsort`
 tsort: -: input contains a loop:

 tsort: pl_comp.o
 tsort: pl_parse.o
----------

I ran "make check".  It said:

----------
 All 76 tests passed.

Yes. But you'd better to change mklinux -> MkLinux DR1.  There may be
a chance that latest MkLinux or gcc successfully runs 7.1...

OK. So we are close to a final tally of supported machines. The
"unsupported machines" are listed at the end, and those include QNX and
Ultrix, which both may end up supported in the very near future. I've
left NetBSD/m68k and NetBSD/Sparc on the supported list since we have no
reason to think that they *won't* work for 7.1, but they may get bumped
to unsupported if we do not have maintainers with access to working
machines. That will be especially problematic for the m68k-based
machines, since they are no longer in (large scale) production.

I may not have correct info for SCO OpenServer. Can someone verify that
7.1 works on this platform? With the UDK compiler set, it *should* be
identical wrt support to UnixWare with the same compiler set, right? If
we don't get testing done, I'll revert the description to that for 7.0,
but leave it as a supported platform.

Since Windows (not NT) is supported on the client side only, should I
move it to "unsupported"? I think I will, but leave the comments that
clients have been tested.

If the scorecard does not change, we are on 29 distinct platforms, the
largest number we have *ever* been qualified on. And simultaneously for
all on the day of release, which is simply not done in the closed source
world.

Thanks to everyone for the great support on porting and testing!

I can't speak to the geo test failures,  but the horology failures have to
do with the change from daylight saving change.  Since we lost an hour
they will be off.  Is this something to be looked at?  The failure of the
test is to be expected,  but it will cause some to worry when their
regression tests fail.

Thoughts?

Re: Final call for platform testing

Hi all...

I just installed 7.1RC1 on an sun enterprise 250 runnning debian 2.2r2
linux and everything went ok..

I compiled with --enable-local and --with-java among other but it seems
that the ja created doesn't like international characters. I use the
postgresql.jar found in /usr/local/postgresql/share/java/. When running
using this one i get ? instead of for example ï¿½,ï¿½ or ï¿½. Changing to
jdbc7.0-1.2.jar from an rpminstall (mandrake 7.2) made everything work
just fine.

Did I do something wrong or miss something?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure how to test the "implicit time zone" feature of "TIME WITH TIME
ZONE" without risking the same kinds of trouble. Maybe the test should
be recast to using only comparisons with other date/time types which
have been shown to behave themselves across time zone boundaries. But
I'm not sure that this would continue to really test the feature.

I suspect we have no choice but to eliminate this particular test from
the regression suite.  A test that fails for a few days around DST
boundaries is one thing, but a test that fails for six months out of the
year is another.

BTW, the reason HPUX was failing to fail is that its mktime() is picky
about tm_year; we were forgetting to subtract off 1900 in that
particular code path.  Fixed.  Now I get a failure like everyone else ;-)

It is listed in the comments in the real docs. At least one report was
for an extensively patched 2.4.2, and I'm not sure of the true lineage
of the others.

I *could* remove the version info from the x86 listing, and mention both
2.2.x and 2.4.x in the comments.

You could ask.  Just to ignore reports that you have asked for is not 
polite.  My report was based on a virgin, unpatched 2.4.2 kernel, and 
(as noted) the Debian-packaged glibc-2.2.2.  

If you are trying to trim your list, would be reasonable to drop 
Linux-2.0.x, because that version is not being maintained any more.

Linux-2.2 and Linux-2.4 are different codebases.  It is worth noting,
besides, the glibc-version tested along with each Linux kernel version.

The simple fact is that the vast majority of Linux boxes are not yet
running 2.4 kernels, so imho it is not a big issue. I've mentioned 2.4
as well as 2.2 kernels in the (very short) tabular summary, so any
interested user would know that both will work for them. 2.0.x kernels
work as well, so I may just drop version info from the first field in
the summary altogether.

You can inspect the current info in the developer's docs, posted on the
web site.

The Right Place for more extensive information might be FAQ_Linux, which
was last updated three years ago. Would someone have time to go through
that and scrub the info?
