* 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
for those wishing to migrate data from any previous release.
Major changes relative to 7.4.x:
* Savepoints
* Point-in-Time recovery
* Tablespaces
* Improved buffer management
* ALTER TABLE column management improvements
Full list of changes is available at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/release.html#RELEASE-8-0
Also note that PostgreSQL server listens also on localhost (127.0.0.1)
by default now.
