Thanks to those who have been working on these bugs. Brion has done an awesome job of closing out most of the known installer issues, for which I am extremely thankful.
Also, following Brion's suggestion that we not make PostgreSQL a tarball blocker and the consensus of IRC participants, we're going to push PG support to 1.17.1. We want it to work, but not enough to hold up a release. If fixes come in for the Pg bugs soon enough, then support for it will be included in the 1.17 release. Otherwise, we're not going to sweat it.
Following the weekend sprint, a little blocker pruning, and consulting with Robla and Chad, I'm pleased to announce that Chad will be pushing the first 1.17 Release Candidate by this Friday.
With the release candidate, we should get more testing and exposure. Maybe we'll find someone with the motivation to fix some bugs, too!
Happy Hacking!
Mark.
