Oracle shuts down open source test servers (iTnews)

Here’s href="http://www.itnews.com.au/News/221051,oracle-shuts-down-open-source-test-servers.aspx">a
report on iTnews saying that Oracle has abruptly shut down a set of
servers used to perform quality assurance on PostgreSQL releases.
“Sun Microsystems – and for a short time its new owner Oracle – had
provided three member servers to ensure PostgreSQL was stable on the
Solaris operating system. The development of PostgreSQL had been supported
by Sun – which contributed DTrace support, amongst other features to the
database platform. At the start of July, Oracle shut down its three
PostgreSQL build farm servers without warning, leaving the PostgreSQL
community rushing to find replacements.”
