... for some value of "properly". Instead of overriding REGRESS_OPTS,
set the variables ENCODING and NO_LOCALE, which is more expressive and
allows overriding by the user. Fix vcregress.pl to handle that.
This mostly just involves creating control, install, and
update-from-unpackaged scripts for them. However, I had to adjust plperl
and plpython to not share the same support functions between variants,
because we can't put the same function into multiple extensions.
catversion bump forced due to new contents of pg_pltemplate, and because
initdb now installs plpgsql as an extension not a bare language.
Add support for regression testing these as extensions not bare
languages.
Fix a couple of other issues that popped up while testing this: my initial
hack at pg_dump binary-upgrade support didn't work right, and we don't want
an extra schema permissions test after all.
Documentation changes still to come, but I'm committing now to see
whether the MSVC build scripts need work (likely they do).
"make all", and then reference them there during the actual tests. This
makes the handling of these files more parallel to that of regress.so,
and in particular simplifies use of the regression tests outside the
original build tree. The PGDG and Red Hat RPMs have been doing this via
patches for a very long time. Inclusion of the change in core was requested
by Jørgen Austvik of Sun, and I can't see any reason not to.
I attempted to fix the MSVC scripts for this too, but they may need
further tweaking ...
