incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print
instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that
users can continue building anyway.
The latter updated accordingly. Also add `dist' and `distcheck' targets
to play with, but caveat packager.
Updated backend/bootstrap and backend/parser makefile to make them
marginally builddir aware and fix the usual set of things.
Add rule to automatically remake config.h dependent on config.h.in and
config.status. (Adopted from Autoconf manual and about every other
package.) On a good day we should now have a complete and accurate set
of dependencies throughout everything.
standard targets and behaviour. Replaced Makefile.in's with
Makefile's and declared the respective variables in Makefile.global.
maintainer-clean target now available at top level, although it does
not work in the backend tree yet.
Cleanup pass over Makefile.shlib, renamed some targets and variables.
The shared library symlink tests are now done by make, not the shell.
ecpg: Remove one warning in sloppy flex output.
PL/Perl and Perl interface: the MakeMaker documentation is confusing,
the realclean target *does* "delete derived files", but it also
uninstalls them. Don't use that.
The submake targets in the various bin directories that update libpq
should `make all', not `make libpq.a'. That is a) unportable, and
b) doesn't build the shared library.
fix recently applied to backend's lexer). I see that YY_USES_REJECT
still gets defined for this lexer, which means it's going to have trouble
parsing really long tokens. Not sure if it's worth doing anything about
that or not; I don't have the interest right now to understand why
ecpg's additions to the syntax cause this problem...
the ecpg Makefiles use a variable DESTDIR which is never defined
except by debian/rules makefile, in which case the ecpg makefiles
expand wrong pathnames. If we want to support a DESTDIR root it
must be done consistently in all the makefiles, not just in ecpg.

been applied. The patches are in the .tar.gz attachment at the end:
varchar-array.patch this patch adds support for arrays of bpchar() and
varchar(), which where always missing from postgres.
These datatypes can be used to replace the _char4,
_char8, etc., which were dropped some time ago.
block-size.patch this patch fixes many errors in the parser and other
program which happen with very large query statements
(> 8K) when using a page size larger than 8192.
This patch is needed if you want to submit queries
larger than 8K. Postgres supports tuples up to 32K
but you can't insert them because you can't submit
queries larger than 8K. My patch fixes this problem.
The patch also replaces all the occurrences of `8192'
and `1<<13' in the sources with the proper constants
defined in include files. You should now never find
8192 hardwired in C code, just to make code clearer.

remaining shift/reduce conflict. But the very same conflict is in gram.y, so
I don't dig into it very much now.
Anyway, I just saw that there were minor changes made to ecpg by others. Now
I like that but I would prefer if I was told about that. Otherwise my
version numbering and Changelog maintaining might break. Or simply change
these too. :-)
Also I had to add #include <errno.h> to backend/libpq/pqcomprim.c to be
able to compile postgresql.
Patch is attached. Since my resubscription process is still not finished
yet, I still send them here.
