I presume that the copyright is novated also. I'll get cracking on some changes. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

The commit message and release notes mention might have just Simon's name, or multiple people. The hot patch commit is going to have multiple people involved before it is committed, so if Simon is worried that the patch will have ideas in it he does not agree with, perhaps we can make sure the commit and release note items include Heikki's name as well. Normally if a committer makes signficant changes to a patch, the committer's name is also added to the commmit message, and I suggest we do the same thing here with hot standby. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce(a)momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

I think this is a weakness of our current style of heavy-weight commits. I don't have a great suggestion for fixing it, though. Even if we move to git, a major feature like this has such a complex development history that I'm queasy about slurping it in unsquashed. But at least for simple features I think that there would be a value in separating the patch author's work from the committer's adjustments. I realize (now) that this would complicate the release note generation process somewhat, based on our current process, and there might be other downsides as well. All the same, I think it has enough value to make it worth thinking about whether there's some way to make it work. ....Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers |
