good morning josh,

the delay is not a big deal. i was just wondering - usually the team is so incredibly fast that i might just have got used to it ;).

ah, i see - pgfoundry is the problem. i was already curious why the codes have not been activated there.

let me add a paragraph to the texts we want to put out. maybe it is a good idea to tell a little bit more about the roots of the product:

---------------------------

(maybe we can use this text, if it is fine for you)

---------------------------

Cybercluster is heavily based on the ideas of PGCluster.

To make the cluster more portable we rewrote large parts of the internals to use threads. This change allows us to run even on Windows.

In addition to that a couple of features have been added:

- optional support for 2 phase commit

- a consistency checker

- a monitoring server to track the replication process

A couple of memory leaks and bugs inside the original PGCluster code have been fixed and the installer was adapted to install all components which are needed to run Cybercluster.

---------------------------

looking forward to seeing the release on postgresql.org :).

many thanks and best regards,

hans

Hans,

BTW, you might want to remove some PGCluster references from the

READMEs, etc,  before you push 1.0.0 out (like a reference to pgcluster

website in CyberCluster tarball).

I just sent you a direct e-mail about that.  Sorry for taking so long to get to it.

We didn't want to put a news item on the home page until the links worked, which they don't yet since the pgfoundry project isn't live.

We'd checked out Cybercluster but weren't at all clear on what the relationship to pgCluster was, so wanted to clear that up (and have it in your description) before we approved the project.  And then dealing with it got delayed by an issue with the pgFoundry forums.

Hopefully we can get everything rolling in the next couple days.
