[Monetdb-developers] kill client mil command
by Niels Nes 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

MonetDB developers Are there any users of the kill client mil command (in src/modules/plain/kernel.mx). If not I'd like to remove it as the required pthread functionality (pthread_kill) isn't available with the same semantics on all platforms. Also just killing a client may lead to crashing servers (see bug 1145484).

[Monetdb-developers] No more automatic testing on Windows
by Stefan.Manegold＠cwi.nl 17 Feb '05

17 Feb '05

Hi MonetDB developers, As of now, I stop nightly automatic testing on Windows! The cost of maintaining it be far exceed what I can afford. Admittedly, I am everything but a Windoze guru, and I do not know any more, how to cope with all the problems. Since yesterday, not only tests tend to hang, but also the "tlist" tool that I use to check the process table for hanging tests now hangs "consistently". Sorry, but for me there is no other way than giving up. Volanteers are welcome to pick-up this task! Of course, this also limits our support for MonetDB on Windows. Stefan ps: Yes, this is a "cry for help" ... -- | Dr. Stefan Manegold | mailto:Stefan.Manegold@cwi.nl | | CWI, P.O.Box 94079 | http://www.cwi.nl/~manegold/ | | 1090 GB Amsterdam | Tel.: +31 (20) 592-4212 | | The Netherlands | Fax : +31 (20) 592-4312 |

The "problem" is (as always ;-) Windows. The question is, should I install the Perl, Python, and TCL files or not? I used to install the Perl and Python files, but since they aren't built if I don't specify HAVE_PERL and HAVE_PYTHON, the installer complains that the files don't exist. I think I'll just remove them from the installer. Of course, we *know* that we have Python, since it is required for building (autogen). -- Sjoerd Mullender <sjoerd(a)acm.org>

[Monetdb-developers] HAVE_* conditionals for mapi/clients
by Sjoerd Mullender 11 Feb '05

Niels, why did you add the HAVE_* conditionals to the mapi/clients Makefile.ag? As far as I can see, creating or installing the Python, Perl, and TCL files is not dependent on the presence of the interpreters. It's only when you go one level deeper, into the Cimpl and DBD directories that you get these dependencies. The Cimpl directories are already protected by HAVE_*_SWIG conditionals, so only the perl/DBD directory would need to be protected with a conditional. -- Sjoerd Mullender <sjoerd(a)acm.org>
