files automatically. Otherwise, the following could happen: When
starting from a clean source tree, the first build would delete the
intermediate file, but also create the dependency file, which
mentions the intermediate file, thus making it non-intermediate.
The second build will then need to rebuild the now non-intermediate
missing file. So the second build will do work even though nothing
had changed. One place where this happens is the .c -> .o -> .so
chain for some contrib modules.
flag for src/port/ in front of any -L flags placed in LDFLAGS by configure.
This undoes an L-flag-ordering change that I had thought would be safe,
but seems to be making at least one buildfarm member fail --- the only
theory for orca's failure that I can think of is that it's got an old
copy of libpgport.a in /usr/lib. Also allow for LDFLAGS_SL to be set by
contrib makefiles before they invoke Makefile.global.
linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when
linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries. This
provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than
the former behavior. Also, make sure that the various platform-specific
%.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that
before. (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD)
directly, however. It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the
most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.)
Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.
Behaves more or less unchanged compared to Python 2, but the new language
variant is called plpython3u. Documentation describing the naming scheme
is included.
Update install-sh to that from Autoconf 2.63, plus our Darwin-specific
changes (which I simplified a bit). install-sh is now able to install
multiple files in one run, so we could simplify our makefiles sometime.
install-sh also now has a -d option to create directories, so we don't need
mkinstalldirs anymore.
Use AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in configure.in, so we can use mkdir -p when available
instead of install-sh -d. For consistency with the rest of the world,
the corresponding make variable has been renamed from $(mkinstalldirs) to
$(MKDIR_P).
Documentation files in HTML and man formats are now prepared for
distribution using the distprep make target, like everything else. They
are placed in doc/src/sgml/html and manX and installed from there by
make install, if present. The business with the tarballs in the tarball
is gone.
Test coverage support now covers the entire source tree, including
contrib, instead of just src/backend. In a related but independent
development, the commands make coverage and make coverage-html can be run
in any directory.
This turned out to be much easier than feared. Besides a few ad hoc fixes
to pass the make target down the tree, change all affected makefiles to
list their directories in the SUBDIRS variable, changed from variants like
DIRS and WANTED_DIRS. MSVC build fix was attempted as well.
This switches the man page building process to use the DocBook XSL stylesheet
toolchain. The previous targets for Docbook2X are removed. configure has been
updated to look for the new tools. The Documentation appendix contains the
new build instructions. There are also a few isolated tweaks in the
documentation to improve places that came out strangely in the man pages.
used to work as intended, but got broken some time ago (a quoted empty string

ecpg's preproc.y automatically. Given all the unprotected uses of $(PERL)

trying to ensure each such use is protected individually. Also fix various
bits of documentation that omitted to mention Perl as a requirement for
building from a CVS pull. Per a complaint from Robert Haas.
another section if required by the platform (instead of the old way of
building them in section "l" and always transforming them to the
platform-specific section).
This speeds up the installation on common platforms, and it avoids some
funny business with the man page tools and build process.
This basically takes some build system code that was previously labeled
"Solaris" and ties it to the compiler rather than the operating system.

If this breaks things due to missing libxslt, then I'll have to
revert it, but let's see if it breaks the buildfarm.
Workarounds in case libxslt is missing include:
. don't configure with libxml, or
. don't build contrib modules from the contrib Makefile (use the individual module Makefiles instead), or
. change the xml2 Makefile
repeatedly. Now that we don't have to worry about memory leaks from
glibc's qsort, we can safely put CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the tuplesort
comparators, as was requested a couple months ago. Also, get rid of
non-reentrancy and an extra level of function call in tuplesort.c by
providing a variant qsort_arg() API that passes an extra void * argument
through to the comparison routine. (We might want to use that in other
places too, I didn't look yet.)

on in one place in Makefile.global. I am unconvinced that this list
is complete, but since ecpg seems to have gotten along with just these
entries, we'll try it this way and see what happens.
-built-in mechanism through the -MP flag. Adjust the file extensions to
look more like Automake practice. This frees up the .d suffix for use by
DTrace.
no evidence that any currently-supported platform needs this, and good
reason to think that any platform that did need it couldn't use the static
libraries anyway --- libpq, at least, has circular references. Removing
the code shuts up tsort warnings about the circular references on some
platforms.
--enable-depend it often tries to create the .deps directory twice and
bails out when it already exists due to a race condition of if doesn't

inserted into Makefile.global by configure, so instead we must get the
paths from pg_config. This requires extending pg_config to support all
the separately-configurable path names, but that was on TODO anyway.
of special case for Windows port. Put a PG_TRY around most of createdb()
to ensure that we remove copied subdirectories on failure, even if the
failure happens while creating the pg_database row. (I think this explains
Oliver Siegmar's recent report.) Having done that, there's no need for
the fragile assumption that copydir() mustn't ereport(ERROR), so simplify
its API. Eliminate the old code that used system("cp ...") to copy
subdirectories, in favor of using copydir() on all platforms. This not
only should allow much better error reporting, but allows us to fsync
the created files before trusting that the copy has succeeded.

port/exec.c (and renamed it to find_my_binary()). I also added
find_other_binary that looks for another binary in the same directory as
the calling program, and checks the version string.
The only behavior change was that initdb and pg_dump would look in the
hard-coded bindir directory if it can't find the requested binary in the
same directory as the caller. The new code throws an error. The old
behavior seemed too error prone for version mismatches.

remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting
StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed
to do)
* dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls
* dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro
* slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir

contains the patches to Makefile.global.in and Makefile.unixware. The
Makefile.unixware patch has been updated to include the contents of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if present, to the -rpath (-R) option. This change
will simplify configuring and building PostgreSQL on systems that
support LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include all
the directorys you want to have searched for additional libraries, run
configure, then run make. The paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH will then be
embedded in the executables via the -rpath (-R) option to the linker,
and so will not require LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order to run.

1) adds NetBSD shared lib support on both ELF and a.out platforms
2) replaces "-L$(LIBPQDIR) -lpq" with "$(LIBPQ)" defined in
Makefile.global. This makes it much easier to build stuff in
the source tree after you've already installed the libraries.
3) adds TEMPLATEDIR in Makefile.global that indicates where the
database templates are stored. This separates the template files
from real libraries that are installed in $(LIBDIR).
4) changes include order of <readline/readline.h> and <readline.h>.
The latest GNU readline installs its headers under a readline
subdirectory.
In addition to applying the patch below the following files need to be copied:
backend/port/dynloader:
bsd.h -> netbsd.h
bsd.c -> netbsd.c
include/port:
bsd.h -> netbsd.h

use ifdef or whatever in those files. I have to admit it looks
ugly. No way.
* support for PGCLIENTENCODING when issuing COPY command
commands/copy.c modified.
* support for SQL92 syntax "SET NAMES"
See gram.y.
* support for LATIN2-5
* add UNICODE regression test case
* new test suite for MB
New directory test/mb added.
* clean up source files
Basic idea is to have MB's own subdirectory for easier maintenance.
These are include/mb and backend/utils/mb.
I have implemented a framework of encoding translation between the
backend and the frontend. Also I have added a new variable setting
command:
SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'encoding';
Other features include:
Latin1 support more 8 bit cleaness
See doc/README.mb for more details. Note that the pacthes are
against May 30 snapshot.

Hi, here are patches I promised (against 6.3.2):
* character_length(), position(), substring() are now aware of
multi-byte characters
* add octet_length()
* add --with-mb option to configure
* new regression tests for EUC_KR
(contributed by "Soonmyung. Hong" <hong@lunaris.hanmesoft.co.kr>)
* add some test cases to the EUC_JP regression test
* fix problem in regress/regress.sh in case of System V
* fix toupper(), tolower() to handle 8bit chars
note that:
o patches for both configure.in and configure are
included. maybe the one for configure is not necessary.
o pg_proc.h was modified to add octet_length(). I used OIDs
(1374-1379) for that. Please let me know if these numbers are not
appropriate.
HP-UX (all versions) requires shared libraries to have execute
permission, and really needs them to be exactly mode 555 for
performance reasons. The standard configure/install procedure
installs libpq.sl as mode 644, which DOES NOT WORK.
The attached patch modifies the makefiles to distinguish
INSTL_LIB_OPTS (install mode for ordinary libraries) from
INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS (mode for shared libs), and adds a test
to configure to set INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS="-m 555" when on HP-UX.
Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.
It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.
This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )
This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.
Please review and apply,
Cheers,

Apart from this Makefile hack, all I've done is to make dynamically
loaded code modules fail properly (as was already done for __mips__,
although I think this is too loose: I believe NetBSD for the pmax can
do dynamic linking), and to add test-and-set lock handling. As Bruce
suggested, this is done in a maximally efficient inlined way: I was
not aware that this code was so important, speed-wise.

One of the design rules of PostgreSQL is extensibility. And
to follow this rule means (at least for me) that there should
not only be a builtin PL. Instead I would prefer a defined
interface for PL implemetations.
Makefile.global and move them to seperate 'include' makefiles
Over time, should become even more port specific:
ie. Makefile.BSD44_derived should be broken down into netbsd/freebsd
specific ports
FreeBSD
The Makefile(s) have all been cleaned up such that there is a single
LDFLAGS vs LD_ADD or LDADD or LDFLAGS or LDFLAGS_BE. The Makefile(s)
should be alot more straightforward then they were before...and
consistent
Further extended Makefile.global/build/configure so that we can
have a 'template' file for each OS (and each version of OS, as in BSDi)
which is used as much as possible to generate Makefile.global
Any future ports should look at using the template file as a basis,
before moving over to Makefile.global.
This will most probably break alot of the ports, atho I've tried to
be very neat about it...
Remove USE_LOCALE from Makefile.global.in
Add USE_LOCALE to build/configure/config.h
Add check for BUILDRUN in configure to make sure that build is run before
configure
