1.19) What is the timeline for the next major PostgreSQL release?
The development schedule for the 8.3 release is:
March 1, 2007
Initial community review of all major feature patches
April 1, 2007
Feature freeze, all patches must be submitted for review and
application
mid-May, 2007
All patches applied, beta testing begins
July, 2007
Release of 8.3.0
Patches that appear after appropriate dates are typically not applied
but held for the next major release.
1.20) Why haven't you replaced CVS with SVN, Git, Monotone, VSS, <insert your
favorite SCMS here>?
Currently the core developers see no SCMS that will provide enough
benefit to outwiegh the pain involved in moving to a new SCMS. Typical
problems that must be addressed by any new SCMS include:
* Run natively on all of our supported platforms.
* Integrate into the Buildfarm.
* Import our entire CVS Repository while preserving complete
history.
* Allow for anonymous checkouts.
Currently there is no intention for switching to a new SCMS until at
least the end of the 8.4 development cycle sometime in late 2008. For
more information please refer to the mailing list archives.
