For my two cents, the Linux/Alpha patches for 6.5.2 apply cleanly
to the 6.5.3 tarball. I am compiling and running regression tests now, but
I don't expect any problems.
Once there is a formal release annoucement, I will make an
announcement to pgsql-ports list (and elsewhere?) and update my web site
to reflect that the 6.5.2 alpha patches apply fine to 6.5.3, and are all
that are needed to get pgsql 6.5.2 running on Linux/Alpha.

Ok, with the 6.5.2 patches, pgsql compiled fine and ran regression
tests with no problems. Only failures were the standard off by one in nth
decimal place geometry and the sort order difference in rules, both
harmless (IMHO).
You have my go ahead (as if you needed it :) to release the 6.5.3
tarball.

PS. Was there any speed ups in this version, or is just due to the
fact I finally have my Ultra disk on an Ultra SCSI controller that caused
the at least halving, if not not more of regression runtimes? :)
