Hello,
I'm still researching a strange problem. If I set the date on my machine to Apr
2(EST), the postgresql package compiles. If my machine is Apr 3 (EDT), it fails
to compile. Something dies in the horology tests. My guess is something to do
with Daylight Savings Time.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Well it doesn't seem to have made the level of an FAQ, but it is a known
issue. Only the regression tests, you should actually be able to make
and install it. You can double check the regression tests tomorrow.
I believe that Tom Lane was considering doing some work on those tests
so that the regression tests wouldn't fail on days where the timezone
changed, but it isn't a real high priority.
