#26217: postgresql84 8.4.4 Backported patch for data loss due to Apple libc bug on array COPY import / export ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: stevenschlansker@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: haspatch | Port: postgresql84 ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- I recently reported a bug to the PostgreSQL project - see the thread here for extensive discussion of the bug. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2010-08/msg00292.php The cause ended up being a bug in libc itself, but a workaround was committed to PostgreSQL 9.0. The maintainer did not want to backport the fix to 8.4.4. Since this bug still exists on 8.4.4 and is Mac-specific, I thought it might be nice if MacPorts included the patch so that others do not run into the same problem I did. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26217> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
