Hello,
On a slightly different note in regards to the development cycle. I am authoring a new book and it would be helpful to know the approximate completion of the dev cycle.
If the dev cycle is going to be really short, are we expecting a more traditional 12-16 month 8.2?

That seems to be the norm ... my feel for discussions so far is that 8.1's focus is going to be primarily replacing ARC, and anything else that might slip in ...

Hi,
sorry for using this list, but is not time to change this TIP for something more suitable to the new PG8 capabilities?

I'd say that was a safe bet ... 8.1, we're looking at a 4 month dev/beta cycle, so end of May, start of Junefor release ... based on current trends, I'd say following June for beta of 8.2, and then "however long" after that for release, so between Aug and Nov :)

So are we looking at a 8.1 in June and a 8.2 in say August of 2006?
Or something else?
I know that it is hard to completely pin these things down but it would be really helpful :)

I really don't know why this short dev cycle thing keeps coming back... People don't want to upgrade their major production database servers every 6 months. It'll be 6 months at my work before we move off 7.4, and that's only because they have a reasonable postgres expert onsite (me)...

Because there is a strong desire to get rid of ARC ASAP. Which I am comfortable with IF there is an agreement that 8.1 wont require an initdb. I certainly can't take down my production servers for the amount of time needed for dump/reload, so if that is going to be required then I'm sure we'll not do an upgrade until 8.1 is released, and I'd imagine a lot of others would fall into this as well.

Agreed, but there is also a fair amount of ppl that won't upgraded to 8.0 in the first place, and will wait for the first 8.1, and if we can keep that cycle short enough, waiting the few extra months will be alot easier for them ...
