Re: Pre-8.0 outstanding patches

I turns out I have not been reviewing all patches kept during the beta
period for releases 7.2-7.4. I have gone though the kept emails and
found 37 messages that need review:

http://momjian.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/pgpatches3

I would like to know which should be discarded and which kept for 8.1.

Thanks.

I don't see the pg_autovacuum patch that I submitted just after beta4.
It is my understanding that this patch would be accecpted into 8.0 since
a) it's a contrib module, b) it's a simple and small patch, and c)
having autovacuum be aware of the vacuum delay stuff is a good idea.

These are 8.0 patches, like from 7.4 beta.

I'm to submit a small patch to add missing include files plus one library
for pgxs under win32. I hope to do it on Saturday.

AFAICS all of those were rejected, applied in some later form, or just
work-in-progress that never got completed. I don't think you need to
hold onto any of them; I certainly don't see any that look ready to apply.

Just confirming that we don't need to keep those emails that talk about:

index correlation
binary copy tools
updatable cursors
hold cursors
datacube patch
plpq for dblink
langinfo for languages-specific to_char(date)
libpq support for precision/scale
packages support
