I discovered recently that my old development platform, which I was intending to upgrade around the end of the year (when, I hope, RHEL6 and CentOS 6 will be out) is no longer able to build the PostgreSQL docs. It fails on anything later than 8.4. I could fix it, but it's not worth my time to find out what needs to be replaced.
Meanwhile, VMware Server, which I have used for quite a few years to run various VMs, including a Windows XP VM that hosts three buildfarm members, and two others hosting buildfarm members on Fedora 11 and FreeBSD, will not run on either Fedora 13 nor Windows 7. On Linux, my plan is to migrate to KVM based VMs, and on Windows 7 I'll probably use VirtualBox, which I have found to be quite slick in the past.
Anyway, all this makes acquisition of the new platform a bit more urgent, and at the same time threatens to spend precious time I'd rather spend working on features.
