Over the past several weeks, Tom Lane has been working on replacing
our old Cache Management Alorithm (ARC) with a new, patent free one
(2Q).
In order to reduce the number of 8.x deployments out there that are
using the old manager, we have just released 8.0.2, and encourage
adminstrators to upgrade at their earliest convience.
For those already running 8.x on your production servers, please
note that this upgrade does *NOT* require a dump restore, but due to
a bump in the major version number for the client library (libpq),
it *WILL* require all client applications to be recompiled at the
same time.
For full release info, see
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/release.html#RELEASE-8-0-2
Apart from the upgrade, three new config options are added:
A patch (experimental) for supporting proper collation
of utf-8 encoded locales, using IBM's ICU package (devel/icu). See
http://people.freebsd.org/~girgen/postgresql-icu/README.html for more
info.
An optional patch written by Evgen Potemkin, which allows
PostgreSQL to make hierarchical queries à la Oracle [1].
An option is added that allows the use of 64 bit ints to
store dates [2].

Prevent overrunning a heap-allocated buffer if more than 1024
parameters to a refcursor declaration are specified. This is a
minimally-invasive fix for the buffer overrun.
Define LATEST_LINK to avoid package name clashes between the different
branches of PostgreSQL. [1] (Since postgresql-tcltk is hardwired to
branch 7.4, keep its LATEST_LINK to a generic value.)
Set UNIQUENAME and let it be the same for server & client, so each
branch's ports will share the same options file. This adds some no-op
knobs to the -client port, but IMO it is better this way.
Add space inside paranthesis in OSVERSION conditional to work around

Back out name change of startup script. The new script uses rc.subr(8),

The port uses the new postgresql ports' layout and is split into a
server and a client part. The following knobs can be used by ports
depending on PostgreSQL:
# USE_PGSQL - Add PostgreSQL client dependency.
# If no version is given (by the maintainer via the port or
# by the user via defined variable), try to find the
# currently installed version. Fall back to default if
# necessary (PostgreSQL-7.4 = 74).
# DEFAULT_PGSQL_VER
# - PostgreSQL default version. Can be overridden within a port.
# Default: 74.
# WANT_PGSQL_VER
# - Maintainer can set an arbitrary version of PostgreSQL by
# using it.
# BROKEN_WITH_PGSQL
# - This variable can be defined if the ports doesn't support
# one or more versions of PostgreSQL.

stuffing the 8.0.0 release in here for the time being. Port epoch bumped
because 8.0.rc* is greater than 8.0.0. A note from UPDATING to people who
want to use 8.0.0 via -devel in production:
The -devel port has been updated to contain 8.0 release since
postgresql80-server can not be updated until 4.11 is released and the
changes in PR ports/75344 are committed. Users who need 8.0 now can
use the -devel port, however, once postgresql80-server has been
committed, -devel will begin tracking 8.1. Please be smart about
tracking ports and if used in production, update to
databases/postgresql80-server as soon as it becomes available. No
dump/reload will be required when changing from -devel to
postgresql80-server.

Note that none of these ports are (yet) hooked into the tree,

* Add some TCL related files to pkg-plist.tcl, and add a PLIST_SUB in the
Makefile to register the correct tcl version in the plist.
* Do not start postgresql if the database directory does not exist: the

* Use the "-s" option when starting postgresql with pg_ctl, so it won't

Do not call initdb from Makefile's post-install. Users are required to
manually run initdb, maybe after configuring their preferred database
location in pgsql's user .profile. pkg_add used to simply replace some
existing data files.
Add pkg-message to tell the user about initdb.
Remove 2 empty directories from pkg-plist (pgsql/include/port/freebsd,
pgsql/include/port), since they are not included in "make package" anyway
and cause pkg_deinstall to complain about the plist.
Remove all pgsql/data contents from pkg-plist, so "make deinstall" and
pkg_delete won't clobber existing databases. Minor version upgrades can now be
performed by means of pkg_delete and "make install", without using pg_dump.
Chown %D/pgsql/lib to root:wheel to satisfy ldconfig's recent security
requirements.
Change @dirrm of pgsql to "@unexec rmdir": pkg_deinstall won't complain if
data still exists in that directory at deinstall time.

My additional changes:
- had to link libpgtcl.so with the crypt library to get rid of the
pgaccess error message, that crypt is missing
- had to add -i option in the startup script, so that pgaccess is
able to connect to the postmaster process
- removed all unnecessary patches
- updated PLIST

For an updated version of this tool a separate port will
follow. Please test these changes well, so that we get a
nice PostgreSQL 6.2 version up and running "b4" port freeze ;-)
Please note: when performing a migration to 6.2 and you have an existing db,
then you have to use the *new* pg_dumpall script that comes with this new
postgresql release. The INSTALL file points this out explicitely !!!
Changes:
- startup script resides in FILESDIR
- renamed it to be in sync with INSTALL file from sources
- always install this startup script over an existing, because
of the nature of the rc.d directory I can't install it
to pgsql.sh-dist, if a pgsql.sh is already presend ...
- portlint detected trailing whitespace, usage of perl with absolute
path, usage of echo instead of ECHO and plenty things of this kind
- post installation notes updated, mentioned the mailing list
- copies the html pages as well to the share/doc directory (new manual dir)
- had to update PLIST
- shortened DESCR file, to match the 24 lines
- added post build target, that reminds the admin how to proceed when
already having a database -> INSTALL file describes migration
- updated manpages
- Added missing ldconfig -m in startup file
- Modified pgsql user environment
- Make port NOPORTDOCS aware
- Add additional port docs to post-install target and updated PLIST
- recursively change owner of pgsql directory after creating .profile,
so that .profile can be modified by the pgsql user.
Hope everything is fine now.
Clean up newly imported PostgreSQL port:
- variable reorganization and cleanup
- remove NOMANCOMPRESS conditional in favour of MAN?=
- prevent import of installing user's $PATH into ${PREFIX}/pgsql/.profile
- change package name to remove 'v'
- remove some of the latent bugs left over from the postgres95 port.

Have updated the Master Sites listing to reflect where the current port
actually resides, as well as added a few of the mirrors. Will work on
bringing the port up to date as I figure out how ports work :(
This should at least allow this port to be compiled using v1.08 now
