Typo in the changes to plperl - uses wrong dir, and had a missing slash.
Also fixes error checking for xsubpp - it was broken in a way that hid
the problem above when run more than once (which is the normal case when
developing).
Negotiation failure is only likely to happen if one side or the other is
misconfigured, eg. bad client certificate. I'm not 100% convinced that
a retry is really the best thing, hence not back-patching this fix for now.
Per gripe from Sergio Cinos.
of caveats in different places, but close together. One called caveats,
one not. That looks like it just led to somebody not reading some
appropriate caveats in the second group of caveats (on -admin).

promoted to FATAL) end in exit(1) not exit(0). Then change the postmaster to
allow exit(1) without a system-wide panic, but not for the startup subprocess
or the bgwriter. There were a couple of places that were using exit(1) to
deliberately force a system-wide panic; adjust these to be exit(2) instead.
This fixes the problem noted back in July that if the startup process exits
with elog(ERROR), the postmaster would think everything is hunky-dory and
proceed to start up. Alternative solutions such as trying to run the entire
startup process as a critical section seem less clean, primarily because of
the fact that a fair amount of startup code is shared by all postmaster
children in the EXEC_BACKEND case. We'd need an ugly special case somewhere
near the head of main.c to make it work if it's the child process's
responsibility to determine what happens; and what's the point when the
postmaster already treats different children differently?

* New versions of OpenSSL come with proper debug versions, and use
suffixed names on the LIBs for that. Adapts library handling to deal
with that.
* Fixes error where it incorrectly enabled Kerberos based on NLS
configuration instead of Kerberos configuration
* Specifies path of perl in config, instead of using current one.
Required when using a 64-bit perl normally, but want to build pl/perl
against 32-bit one (required)
* Fix so pgevent generates win32ver.rc automatically

the variabelist with a more concise table, add a URL for each project,
remove some orphaned projects, add PL/Py, and various other changes.
Initial patch from Robert Treat, subsequent work by Neil Conway.
Fix string's length calculation for recoding, fix strlower() to avoid wrong
assumption about length of recoded string (was: recoded string is no greater
that source, it may not true for multibyte encodings)
Thanks to Thomas H. <me@alternize.com> and Magnus Hagander <mha@sollentuna.net>
any no-longer-needed segments; just truncate them to zero bytes and leave
the files in place for possible future re-use. This avoids problems when
the segments are re-used due to relation growth shortly after truncation.
Before, the bgwriter, and possibly other backends, could still be holding
open file references to the old segment files, and would write dirty blocks
into those files where they'd disappear from the view of other processes.
Back-patch as far as 8.0. I believe the 7.x branches are not vulnerable,
because they had no bgwriter, and "blind" writes by other backends would
always be done via freshly-opened file references.
preference for filling pages out-of-order tends to confuse the sanity checks
in md.c, as per report from Balazs Nagy in bug #2737. The fix is to ensure
that the smgr-level code always has the same idea of the logical EOF as the
hash index code does, by using ReadBuffer(P_NEW) where we are adding a single
page to the end of the index, and using smgrextend() to reserve a large batch
of pages when creating a new splitpoint. The patch is a bit ugly because it
avoids making any changes in md.c, which seems the most prudent approach for a
backpatchable beta-period fix. After 8.3 development opens, I'll take a look
at a cleaner but more invasive patch, in particular getting rid of the now
unnecessary hack to allow reading beyond EOF in mdread().
Backpatch as far as 7.4. The bug likely exists in 7.3 as well, but because
of the magnitude of the 7.3-to-7.4 changes in hash, the later-version patch
doesn't even begin to apply. Given the other known bugs in the 7.3-era hash
code, it does not seem worth trying to develop a separate patch for 7.3.
cases where we already hold the desired lock "indirectly", either via
membership in a MultiXact or because the lock was originally taken by a
different subtransaction of the current transaction. These cases must be
accounted for to avoid needless deadlocks and/or inappropriate replacement of
an exclusive lock with a shared lock. Per report from Clarence Gardner and
subsequent investigation.
that discusses CVS. Remove the recommendation to use cvs 1.10. Remove
discussion of alleged CVSup binaries on postgresql.org, because they
have not existed for several years. Remove discussion of how to
build cvsup from source because the existing text is outdated, and
more accurate information is available from the CVSup homepage.
consistently capitalize the content of the "Description" column but do
not include a terminating period, as is the convention elsewhere in the
docs. Also, remove the "References" column from catalog that do not
have any referencing columns, for the sake of brevity. Make various
other SGML and grammar fixes.
