Before we do a tarball release, we need to have an installer that works, both with fresh installs and upgrades, in all three open source DBMSes and preferably Oracle as well.
I agree that we need them working.
In my testing of MySQL, it seems to work. There is bug #12070 that needs to be addressed, but I don't think that will require a large amount of work.
PostgreSQL had some issues which I tried to address. I've heard reports of problems, but it looks like they've all been addressed. It does need more testing.
I don't know of any problems with SQLite installation that should block release, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.
(I can't test Oracle, so I don't know anything about it. I agree we should have it working, but I don't think it should be a blocker if it isn't working.)
Please look over the bugs against the Installer and, if you see something that should block a 1.17 release, make sure it is is a blocker on bug #26676.
Finally, If there is a blocker issue that you know about but that isn't in Bugzilla, then please report it in Bugzilla and make it a blocker on bug #26676.
Thanks,
Mark.
