Thread: Back-patch support for python 2.5?
I noticed that two of the buildfarm members are failing the 8.1 branch because they're trying to build plpython with python 2.5. To get that to work, I think we'd need to back-patch these two fixes: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2006-11/msg00165.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2007-04/msg00043.php Is that worth doing? Should we go further back than 8.1? regards, tom lane

Should we go further back than 8.1? I find these patches a bit excessive for backporting, especially 10 minor releases into the branch. Those who need Python 2.5 can use PostgreSQL 8.2. I consider that to be a new feature. The fact that the buildfarm exercises other combinations isn't evidence of a practical need. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

I notice though that the second of the above-mentioned patches is only in HEAD, which is why those same machines are giving scary-looking warnings in the 8.2 branch, eg wasp on 8.2: ccache gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing-g -fpic -I. -I/usr/include/python2.5 -I../../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include/et -c -oplpython.o plpython.c plpython.c:1996: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type plpython.c:1998: warning: 'intargfunc' is deprecated plpython.c:1998: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type plpython.c:1999: warning: 'intargfunc' is deprecated plpython.c:1999: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type plpython.c:2000: warning: 'intintargfunc' is deprecated plpython.c:2000: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type plpython.c:2001: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type plpython.c:2002: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type Seems we should at least back-patch Marko's fixes into 8.2. regards, tom lane

Is this just a warning cleanup, or is there perhaps a 32 vs 64 bit issue that is being fixed there? -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

Then we ought to backpatch that to 8.2. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
