The current plan (or, the last one I recall) is to push another 9.1
release tomorrow, for Monday release. Are we going with beta4 or rc1?

In Tom's final email to the -core thread he mentions I see now that he
did say RC1. I thought we were voting on the date though (not that I
have a problem with it being RC1).

Well, if this one's not ready to be an RC then I think we can forget
about pushing out a final during September ...

Sorry to butt in, but it would probably be good to include fixes for the
two segfault plpython bugs[1]http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/4E4BCD52.90804@wulczer.org before wrapping up the release.

Cheers,
Jan

It's not listed as a beta-blocker yet. I take it that it should?

And Ashesh's fix for building against ActiveState Python 3.2:

Care to review that one? :-)

Oh, in the wiki? I don't know, it is a segfault-causing bug, but all I
wanted was to draw some attention in case the people wrapping the
release missed that thread.

It was my understanding that the only things which can prevent a new beta or
release candidate are listed on the wiki (
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_9.1_Open_Items). There's only
one item on the list now, and I think even that has probably been fixed. If
it's not on there, I guess it hasn't yet been considered to be something
which can block a release. Since it's not even listed as a non-blocker
either, I don't think it's been reviewed in this context.

That doesn't mean other things can't or shouldn't be fixed - just that
they won't necessarily cause adjustment of the schedule to accomodate
them.

I think you're imagining a lot more structure than actually exists in
this project ;-). Anybody can edit that page, and there's no necessary
consequence of something being written there. It's just notes to help
us keep track of issues, not something graven on stone tablets.

The pg_upgrade thing is listed as a beta blocker because I put it there
--- but that's just my opinion.  If it had proven hard to fix we might
have concluded that we wouldn't let it block a beta release.

If the plpython thing is a new crash that didn't exist before 9.1,
my feeling is that it's a blocker.

I can confirm that the bug in pg_upgrade has been fixed with Bruce's patch
in commit 2411fbdac448045a23eebf4f0dbfd5790ebad720
