Default Another list for windows port... - 10-18-2004 , 04:38 PM






It is possible to mainteners of this list to keep this list from
"/$?%/$?/? windows problems? I don't care about windows. The worst
thing never made was porting an excellent product like PostgreSQL to a
poor server OS like windows.

Now, we are invade with users that aren't used to read the manual...
even the howto install readme!!! Users that have problems often relate
to bug in OS...

I thought the topic of this list was to postgresql in general and not
about WINDOWS SPECIFIQ PART.

So the solution is to do another list for them...

My opinion.

You mean like most Linux users?

It is general, which is why you get a lot of cross traffic. If you want
to see more specific topics you may
want to try the more specific lsits.

Uhm there is a list for them.

Remember the goal is the pervasiveness of PostgreSQL -- regardless of
platform.

Sincerely,

Isn't the purpose to promote PostgreSQL? not *nix-only flavors?

Hmm..other open source projects that run on Windows servers... apache,
mysql, php, python, perl, etc etc etc... Porting it to Windows is a
great thing.. the more that open source gets its way into the use of all
markets, the more acceptable it becomes in the mainstream..and the less
control companies like Microsoft have on the markets.

my 2 cents,

Robby

And besides if Microsoft is the enemy, the easiest way to beat them, is
to make free, suitable replacements
on their own platform

It could be argued that the purpose is to get one's job done.

It's very unfair to confuse users of Windows with users who don't
RTFM.

The opinion expressed above is also totally at odds with what I have
come to expect on this list - friendly, professional, expert help,
not to mention reasoned debate.

The PostgreSQL team has not spent a great deal of effort porting the
database system to the Win32 platform in order to have people like Eric
spoil the reputation of our mailing lists.

If Eric doesn't care about windows, he can ignore discussions related to
it. If he doesn't want to see messages related to it, maybe he can show
his capabilities to RTFM by setting up appropriate procmail filters. Or
does this sound too difficult to you, Eric?
