P
Postgres FD Implementation

Remove the old table of "supported platforms" in favor of a link to the 

buildfarm plus a narrative description of the CPU types and operating systems
on which Postgres is likely to work.  Now that we've almost completely
decoupled CPU and OS considerations, the former tabular style isn't all that
enlightening anyway.  Perhaps more importantly, no one seems particularly
interested in maintaining the table by hand when we have the buildfarm.

<title>Supported Platforms</title>
<para>
<productname>PostgreSQL</> has been verified by the developer
community to work on the platforms listed below. A supported
platform generally means that <productname>PostgreSQL</> builds and
installs according to these instructions and that the regression
tests pass. <quote>Build farm</quote> entries refer to active test
machines in the <ulink url="http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/">
PostgreSQL Build Farm</ulink>.
Platform entries that show an older version of
PostgreSQL are those that did not receive explicit testing at the
time of release of version &majorversion; but that we still
expect to work.
A platform (that is, a CPU architecture and operating system combination)
is considered supported by the <productname>PostgreSQL</> development
community if the code contains provisions to work on that platform and
it has recently been verified to build and pass its regression tests
on that platform. Currently, most testing of platform compatibility
is done automatically by test machines in the
<ulink url="http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL Build Farm</ulink>.
If you are interested in using <productname>PostgreSQL</> on a platform
that is not represented in the build farm, but on which the code works
or can be made to work, you are strongly encouraged to set up a build
farm member machine so that continued compatibility can be assured.

<note>

If you are having problems with the installation on a supported
platform, please write to <email>pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org</email>
or <email>pgsql-ports@postgresql.org</email>, not to the people

In general, <productname>PostgreSQL</> can be expected to work on

PowerPC 64, S/390, S/390x, Sparc, Sparc 64, Alpha, ARM, MIPS, MIPSEL, M68K,
and PA-RISC. Code support exists for M32R, NS32K, and VAX, but these
architectures are not known to have been tested recently. It is often
possible to build on an unsupported CPU type by configuring with

FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X, AIX, HP/UX, IRIX, Solaris, Tru64 Unix,
and UnixWare. Other Unix-like systems may also work but are not currently
being tested. In most cases, all CPU architectures supported by
a given operating system will work. Look in the <filename>doc/</>
directory of the source distribution to see if there is a FAQ document
specific to your operating system, particularly if using an older system.
