intarray and tsearch2 both reference core support functions in their GIN
opclasses, and the signatures of those functions changed for 9.1. We added
backwards-compatible pg_proc entries for the functions in order to allow
9.0 dump files to be restored at all, but that hack leaves the opclasses
pointing at pg_proc entries different from what they'd point to if the
contrib modules were installed fresh in 9.1. To forestall any possibility
of future problems, fix the opclasses to match fresh installs via the
expedient of direct UPDATEs on pg_amproc in the update-from-unpackaged
scripts. (Yech ... but the alternatives are worse, or require far more
effort than seems justified right now.)
Note: updating pg_amproc is sufficient because there will be no pg_depend
entries corresponding to these dependencies, since the referenced functions
are all pinned.
These are needed to support reloading dumps of 9.0 installations containing
contrib/intarray or contrib/tsearch2. Since not only regular dump/reload
but binary upgrade would fail, it seems worth the trouble to carry these
stubs for awhile. Note that the contrib opclasses referencing these
functions will still work fine, since GIN doesn't actually pay any
attention to the declared signature of a support function.
This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.
sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.
