Call for updates!

BSDI 4.01.

Hi. I'd like to update the ports list in the docs to include
references to v6.5 for the various platforms for which PostgreSQL-6.5b
has been tested.

The list is at:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/admin/ports.htm

Let me know what you are running or if you are running on a platform
not mentioned in the list. I've already gotten a report for
NetBSD/arm32 and have patches to move it into the "supported list".

Will re-test tonight, but after the last round of patches for FreeBSD I
applied, all appeared well...

Has PostgreSQL ever worked on Linux/ALPHA ?

I'm very likely to get one soon, and knowing that it works on Digital
Unix
and also on several Linuxes, it should not be too hard to make it work
on
ALPHA, but knowing that it already did would be even better.

I have also heard that Linux ALPHA can run Digital Unix binaries, so i
might
just ask for some friendly soul for precompiled binaries

Also, would the table splitting at at least 2GB be needed on 64bit
architectures ? If I'm not mistaken, then Linux 2.2 has a small patch
that
can make all off_t-s to long longs.

As far as I am aware, the Debian packages of postgresql (which I release
for Intel architecture) have been built for Alpha by Debian's Alpha
development team. They should be available from the Debian ftp site and
mirrors. (See www.debian.org)

Current CVS (after pgindent) compiles and regresses ok on AIX 4.3.2
using the IBM compiler. It has the following problems:
1. AIX has int8,int16,int32,int64 in /usr/include/inttypes.h
--> configure fails to find snprintf support for int8 (because it
includes stdio.h)
I feel this is an IBM problem. I changed my inttypes.h
2. No AIX in Makefile.shlib --> plpgsql.so is not built / no rule.
a number of other platforms are also missing there
a working rule is often in Makefile.port, but only for a single
object
not multiple, which plpgsql has.
The single object rule in Makefile.aix can be used to make a
plpgsql.so
from libplpgsql.a. I built it manually.
3. libpq++ does not work because xlC does not have the string type/class ?
