ed9208829a Ship documentation without intermediate tarballs
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.

6403c35ee6 Fix manpages related to SPI functions.
This patch adds declaration so that they end up in section 3, and adds
them to the Makefiles to install them.

Also, some synopses needed reflowing so that they look nice in 80-column
terminals.

4d53a2f969 Revert addition of "o" to tar options. This was intended to fix bug #4883,
but the cure appears to be worse than the disease.  It turns out that GNU
tar versions 1.14.x misinterpret -o as --same-owner, not --no-same-owner,
leading to exactly the wrong behavior for both root and nonroot users.
While that bug has been fixed for nearly five years, these tar versions
are still found in the wild, notably in OS X 10.4.  Given that #4883 was
the first complaint we'd heard, it's definitely not worth fixing at the
risk of breaking things for other users.  Perhaps revisit at a later date
when we're not up against a release deadline.

a87a1e5428 Extract tarballs with "o" option (tar xof), to behave reasonably when run
as root, as would usually be the case during make install.

d129255077 Set SQL man pages to be section 7 by default, and only transform them to
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.

8c87cc370f Catch all errors in for and while loops in makefiles. Don't ignore any
errors in any commands, including in various clean targets that have so far
been handled inconsistently.  make -i is available to ignore all errors in
a consistent and official way.

b120382353 Upgrade to Autoconf 2.61:
- Change configure.in to use Autoconf 2.61 and update generated files.
- Update build system and documentation to support now directory variables
  offered by Autoconf 2.61.
- Replace usages of PGAC_CHECK_ALIGNOF by AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF, now available
  in Autoconf 2.61.
- Drop our patched version of AC_C_INLINE, as Autoconf now has the change.

b3d72d3ec5 Use --with-docdir to choose installation location of documentation; put
back --infodir, which several automatic build environments expect to exist.
Add --without-docdir to prevent installation of documentation, which is
helpful for things like RPM that have their own method of installing
documentation.

b1a38a4380 Install the SQL command man pages into a section appropriate for each
system.  Some systems did not understand the 'l' section, and in general
it wasn't entirely appropriate.

On SCO OpenServer, the man pages won't be installed at all until someone
figures out their man system.

335248c9b7 Support for DESTDIR make variable. This is used as in `make install
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.

DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because

a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.

b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.

(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

44eaafe3f8 End users shouldn't have to invoke a separate command to install the
documentation. Therefore it's now installed by default. If there is no
documentation to be found (i.e., you are not using the distribution)
then this step is skipped.

Add --docdir option to configure to control installation directory.

74618e2b82 Another round of those unportable config/build changes :-/
* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed
  bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something
  useful is left as an exercise.

* Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until
  all the other libraries are checked for.

* Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc.

* Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly.
  Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them
  anymore.

* Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX.

* Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both.

* Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files
  separately.

* Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux.

* Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure,
  don't add it on in Makefile.global.

* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.

... and in completely unrelated news:

* Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to
  save the environment as well.

362a0f68d9 The check of class string in configure (line 1732) fails because this class
is in <string> and not in <string.h> on QNX4/egcs-2.91.60.
Probably this can be changed for all platforms. The test in line 1705 uses
<string> as well. Because I am not sure, I havn't this included into the
patch.

doc/Makefile has to be sligthly  modified as it has been done for
src/backend/Makefile due to a QNX4 problem (patch attached)

Furthermore src/test/regress/run_check.sh needs to be patched as it has been
done for regress.sh (patch attached). Please note that in the patch the
postmaster is started always with the -i option.

run_check.sh reports the test "limit" as failed, but in reallity it is OK.
regress.sh reports it as OK.

b10a719777 Use autoconf to determine whether system has POSIX signals,
instead of relying on port's os.h to tell us.  (Needed for HPUX
where system major version is not enough info.)
configure unsets USE_TK if X libraries not found.
doc/Makefile uses gzcat or zcat as found by autoconf.

1af6b56427 From: Ryan Kirkpatrick <rkirkpat@nag.cs.colorado.edu>
Ok, I have finally gotten all of the defines for Dec/Alpha and
Linux/Alpha sorted out as Marc asked. There is no longer any need for
'-Dalpha' or '-Dlinuxalpha' in either the Dec/Alpha or the Linux/Alpha
template files (./src/template/{alpha,linuxalpha}). I have replaced every
instance of 'alpha' or '__alpha__' with '__alpha', as that appears to be
the common symbol between C compilers on both operating systems (RH4.2 &
DecUnix 4.0b) for alpha.

661ecf3c48 From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp
Included are patches intended for allowing PostgreSQL to handle
multi-byte charachter sets such as EUC(Extende Unix Code), Unicode and
Mule internal code. With the MB patch you can use multi-byte character
sets in regexp and LIKE. The encoding system chosen is determined at
the compile time.

To enable the MB extension, you need to define a variable "MB" in
Makefile.global or in Makefile.custom. For further information please
take a look at README.mb under doc directory.

(Note that unlike "jp patch" I do not use modified GNU regexp any
more. I changed Henry Spencer's regexp coming with PostgreSQL.)
