Could I entreat buildfarm owners to enable testing of contrib/uuid-ossp
if their machines have suitable UUID libraries? A quick review of the
status reports suggests that almost nobody is actively testing that code.
As of HEAD, we have three implementations that need coverage:
--with-uuid=bsd for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and maybe some other BSDen,
but not OpenBSD AFAICT
--with-uuid=e2fs for Linux and Mac OS X, as well as anybody else
with e2fsprogs' libuuid installed
--with-uuid=ossp for those with OSSP UUID library
Note that 9.3 and earlier branches will not recognize these configure
options, which makes it a bit of a pain. I put this in my OS X animals'
build-farm.conf:
if ($branch eq 'HEAD')
{
push(@{$conf{config_opts}},"--with-uuid=e2fs");
}
but I'm not sure if there's a recommended locution for "test on
branches > 9.3".
regards, tom lane
