Yeah. Theoretically we should be OK because we have a couple of green results from MSVC animals, but I wouldn't mind waiting two hours to see one from a Windows/gcc build. I already asked Dave if he could force a rebuild from home, no go :-( regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@postgresql.org so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

Even more likely, people would hold off fixing problems till after a beta, because it would reset the counter; and then commit the changes later, guaranteeing that they'd get *less* testing. That's not even mentioning the problem that animals fail on a near-daily basis for reasons beyond our control. I'm not in favor of arbitrary rules. The buildfarm is a tool to serve us, not vice versa. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
