Subject: [PATCHES] Re: [PORTS] AIX 6.1 fixes...

Here are the patches for the two things that wouldn't make it thru the AIX
compiler.  The geo_ops.c change is harmless I believe.  The nbtcompare.c patch
fixes me, but I don't know about any other ports.  Maybe wait on that one
until Vadim decides what to do about the unsigned vs signed chars varlena
issue.

relation->rd_att (relation' TupleDesc).

Because of
 *      resetpsort  - resets (frees) malloc'd memory for an aborted Xaction
 *
 *      Not implemented yet.

   all local buffers @ xact commit, so accordingly nextFreeLocalBuf
   is first local buffer now.
   It helps to avoid unnecessary local buffer allocations in LocalBufferAlloc()
   latter ("memmory leaks" in 'order by').
2. ResetLocalBufferPool() lost allocated local buffers:

   memset(LocalBufferDescriptors, 0, sizeof(BufferDesc) * NLocBuffer);

   (local buffers leak @ xact aborts).

using right-sided plans.

Made PQsetdb() and PQfnumber() case-insensitive.
Removed attempt to set table ownership via pg_dumpall.

New template files to replace the old AIX template

(CREATE INDEX ...)

Minor patches to geo_ops.c to clean up compile under AIX 4.1.3

gcc'ism

Initial version.

Fix typos in TZ setting for regression testing and in gmake redirection.

Noted in trying to port to AIX.

Add an entry for the Sparc/Linux port in .similar

Here are the latest changes to the INSTALL instructions.

The main changes are:
  - Step 5, on flex
  - Steps 18 and 19, on regression tests
  - Step 22 c) on starting postmaster on bootup on FreeBSD
  - Added porting notes for SPARC/Linux at end.

If there is time, Thomas should review step 19.

This results from improvements in datetime.c which ensures that the
 conversions are done in local time rather than GMT.

Bring optional new-storage date and time up to date and test.
This new storage format should fix the "Sparc gcc -O2 bug".
(Enable new code with USE_NEW_DATE and USE_NEW_TIME in dt.h)

make doesn't proceed

Subject: [PATCHES] Patch for INSTALL

The following patch makes a number of modifications to file INSTALL.
Among other things, it restores some platform specific notes I deleted.
It also no longer requires a separate compile for the regression tests.

Please note that this patch already incorporates the patch Hal Snyder
submitted on Monday.  Do not apply Hal's patch.
