Several changes to the postgresql80-* packages:
* Become maintainer for the postgresql80-* packages (ok'd by recht) * Libtoolize postgresql80 build so that the shared libraries and loadable shared modules are built using libtool. This should make PostgreSQL 8.0.x in pkgsrc build correctly on more pkgsrc-supported platforms. This is accomplished with the Makefile.libtool file which replaces the Makefile.shlib file in the PostgreSQL distribution. * Add libltdl modifications from the postgresql74-* packages so that this can work on Interix (untested). * Fix some mismatches between static function declarations and their subsesquent definitions in the src/timezone module. Fixes provided by Georg Schwarz. * Convert PGSQL_USE_HIER into the PKG_OPTION "pgsql-hier-query", and teach both postgresql80-client and postgresql80-server to use it. * Use BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM's "rm" action to remove unwanted compiler flags. * Remove zlib/buildlink3.mk from postgresql80-client/buildlink3.mk as zlib is only used by the pg_dump client. * Convert some files in files/* into patches that can be fed back to the PostgreSQL team. * Install data and documentation files into share/postgresql instead of share/postgresql80 -- it's only possible to install one PostgreSQL version at a time in pkgsrc, and the new paths more closely match the rest of the installation paths. * Add more mirrors to the MASTER_SITES list, and add a new variable POSTGRESQL_MIRRORS_SORT that has the same syntax as MASTER_SORT that can help people pick a nearby mirror. * Nuke references to libpgtcl which is no longer distributed as part of a standard PostgreSQL installation as of version 8.0. * Provide better documentation for Makefile.custom. * Avoid linking in the pthread library in the correct way on NetBSD by setting DLOPEN_REQUIRE_PTHREADS=no. Also, provide better documentation on why we can't enable thread-safety in the PostgreSQL libraries on NetBSD (at least for now). * Preliminary support for installing postgresql80-* into a separate subdirectory under ${LOCALBASE} so possibly allow for multiple installations of PostgreSQL on the same machine. Note that THIS DOES NOT WORK YET. * Update the hierarchical-queries patch to "8.0.3-0.5.5" which fixes a bug which was crashing the backend when PRIOR was used in the target list. The _level_ column is no longer automatically added to target list. This makes it possible to use hierarchical queries as IN subqueries. To get _level_ back you just have to explicitly mention it in target list. Bump the following PKGREVISIONs: postgresql80-client -> 2 postgresql80-server -> 2 postgresql80 -> 1 |

update to PostgreSQL 8.0.2
While at it do some structual changes to packages and merge the lib and docs package has been merged into the client package. Also enable Rendezvous support on Darwin. Changes * Increment the major version number of all interface libraries (Bruce) This should have been done in 8.0.0. It is required so 7.4.X versions of PostgreSQL client applications, like psql, can be used on the same machine as 8.0.X applications. This might require re-linking user applications that use these libraries. * Add Windows-only wal_sync_method setting of "fsync_writethrough" (Magnus, Bruce) This setting causes PostgreSQL to write through any disk-drive write cache when writing to WAL. This behavior was formerly called "fsync", but was renamed because it acts quite differently from "fsync" on other platforms. * Enable the wal_sync_method setting of "open_datasync" on Windows, and make it the default for that platform (Magnus, Bruce) Because the default is no longer "fsync_writethrough", data loss is possible during a power failure if the disk drive has write caching enabled. To turn off the write cache on Windows, from the Device Manager, choose the drive properties, then Policies. * New cache management algorithm 2Q replaces ARC (Tom) This was done to avoid a pending US patent on ARC. The 2Q code might be a few percentage points slower than ARC for some work loads. A better cache management algorithm will appear in 8.1. * Planner adjustments to improve behavior on freshly-created tables (Tom) * Allow plpgsql to assign to an element of an array that is initially NULL (Tom) Formerly the array would remain NULL, but now it becomes a single-element array. The main SQL engine was changed to handle "UPDATE" of a null array value this way in 8.0, but the similar case in plpgsql was overlooked. * Convert \r\n and \r to \n in plpython function bodies (Michael Fuhr) This prevents syntax errors when plpython code is written on a Windows or Mac client. * Allow SPI cursors to handle utility commands that return rows, such as "EXPLAIN" (Tom) * Fix "CLUSTER" failure after "ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS" (Tom) * Reduce memory usage of "ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN" (Neil) * Fix "ALTER LANGUAGE RENAME" (Tom) * Document the Windows-only register and unregister options of pg_ctl (Magnus) * Ensure operations done during backend shutdown are counted by statistics collector This is expected to resolve reports of pg_autovacuum not vacuuming the system catalogs often enough -- it was not being told about catalog deletions caused by temporary table removal during backend exit. * Change the Windows default for configuration parameter log_destination to "eventlog" (Magnus) By default, a server running on Windows will now send log output to the Windows event logger rather than standard error. * Make Kerberos authentication work on Windows (Magnus) * Allow "ALTER DATABASE RENAME" by superusers who aren't flagged as having CREATEDB privilege (Tom) * Modify WAL log entries for "CREATE" and "DROP DATABASE" to not specify absolute paths (Tom) This allows point-in-time recovery on a different machine with possibly different database location. Note that "CREATE TABLESPACE" still poses a hazard in such situations. * Fix crash from a backend exiting with an open transaction that created a table and opened a cursor on it (Tom) * Fix array_map() so it can call PL functions (Tom) * Several "contrib/tsearch2" and "contrib/btree_gist" fixes (Teodor) * Fix crash of some "contrib/pgcrypto" functions on some platforms (Marko Kreen) * Fix "contrib/intagg" for 64-bit platforms (Tom) * Fix ecpg bugs in parsing of "CREATE" statement (Michael) * Work around gcc bug on powerpc and amd64 causing problems in ecpg (Christof Petig) * Do not use locale-aware versions of upper(), lower(), and initcap() when the locale is C (Bruce) This allows these functions to work on platforms that generate errors for non-7-bit data when the locale is C. * Fix quote_ident() to quote names that match keywords (Tom) * Fix to_date() to behave reasonably when CC and YY fields are both used (Karel) * Prevent to_char(interval) from failing when given a zero-month interval (Tom) * Fix wrong week returned by date_trunc('week') (Bruce) date_trunc('week') returned the wrong year for the first few days of January in some years. * Use the correct default mask length for class D addresses in INET data types (Tom) |
