Re: Remaining items for 8.4 (was Re: Updates of SE-PostgreSQL 8.4devel patches (r1710))

Hi,

I believe all the issues pointed out in
http://archives.postgresql.org//pgsql-hackers/2008-10/msg01387.php as
been covered in the current patch, as discussed with Simon. I also
understand that we're running out of time.

I'd like to push this to pgFoundry first and then work again together
with Sync.Rep and Hot Standby for 8.5.
