In case my reply at lunch time seemed flip:

Certainly, if you or anyone with FreeBSD connections would like to
participate in testing, that would be very welcome. I see that, a
couple of years ago, you identified an issue where PL/Java would
hang in FreeBSD because PostgreSQL had not been built against libpthread.

Do you know whether that was eventually fixed by the maintainer of
the port for PostgreSQL itself? That would definitely be important to
know.

If you would like to do some testing, you could start now with the
current outstanding pull requests, or you could wait just a bit. Those
PRs are fairly mundane, small fixes. What is currently work in progress
and will be my next PR (after those four are merged) is more substantial,
aimed at resolving issues 9, 12, 61, 71, and much of the rest of
the remaining "painful to install on platform X" issues. The patch also
includes new documentation on building and installation, organized to
allow for platform-specific detail pages.

After that gets merged, though there are still some open issues, I am
inclined to propose starting the countdown to a 1.5.0 release. (A separate
fix for issue 48 should surely be included as well.)

If there's no objection to that proposal, you would then have the obvious
high-value time window to test and identify any important issues with
respect to FreeBSD before a release, and/or to contribute a FreeBSD-specific
page to the documentation if you find any special considerations that
you think should be covered there.

Also, if you have contacts on the pgsql(at)freebsd(dot)org port-maintainer team
(or if you are *on* that team), that could be a good time to start gauging
interest in possibly making PL/Java available in ports.

Again, I hope my earlier message didn't sound dismissive. Is this better? :)

Thanks,
