no reason for them to be copied into src/backend rather than being
installed straight from the catalog subdirectory.  This also avoids
some peculiar behavior (bugs?) present in at least gmake 3.78.1: it
won't always update the bki files in backend/ even when the ones in
backend/catalog/ are newer.

Install a default configuration file.

Clean up some funny business in the config file code.

That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration,
some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of
options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste.

pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K,
-Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q).

Added to configure an --enable-syslog option.

changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)

AUTHTYPE in config file.  Patch both branches.

the src/include tree, so that -I backend is no longer necessary anywhere.
Also, clean up some bit rot in contrib tree.

key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle.
An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL
handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions).
NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.

        1) adds NetBSD shared lib support on both ELF and a.out platforms

        2) replaces "-L$(LIBPQDIR) -lpq" with "$(LIBPQ)" defined in
           Makefile.global.  This makes it much easier to build stuff in
           the source tree after you've already installed the libraries.

        3) adds TEMPLATEDIR in Makefile.global that indicates where the
           database templates are stored.  This separates the template files
           from real libraries that are installed in $(LIBDIR).
        4) changes include order of <readline/readline.h> and <readline.h>.
           The latest GNU readline installs its headers under a readline
           subdirectory.

In addition to applying the patch below the following files need to be copied:

        backend/port/dynloader:
                bsd.h -> netbsd.h
                bsd.c -> netbsd.c
        include/port:
                bsd.h -> netbsd.h
        makefiles:
                Makefile.bsd -> Makefile.netbsd

It would be great to see this incorporated into the source tree before
the 7.0 release is cut.

        Thanks!

backend/Makefiles to be patched could significantly be reduced since
they
have been adopted to the QNX4 needs.

versions of gmake.

palloc.h again.  Move exporting of backend header files out of libpq's
Makefile (whatever was it doing there in the first place?) and into
backend/Makefile.

 file early enough to use in nodes/.
Try to be more complete for rules on generating parse.h,
 but it still does not work any better than before. Should be able to
 make correctly if parser/gram.y is updated even without a "make clean"
 but so far not there yet.

1. Removes the unnecessary "#define AbcRegProcedure 123"'s from
pg_proc.h.

2. Changes those #defines to use the names already defined in
fmgr.h.

3. Forces the make of fmgr.h in backend/Makefile instead of having
it
   made as a dependency in access/common/Makefile  *hack*hack*hack*

4. Rearranged the #includes to a less helter-skelter arrangement,
also
    changing <file.h> to "file.h" to signify a non-system header.

5. Removed "pg_proc.h" from files where its only purpose was for
the
   #defines removed in item #1.

6. Added "fmgr.h" to each file changed for completeness sake.

Turns out that #6 was not necessary for some files because fmgr.h
was being included in a roundabout way SIX levels deep by the first
include.

"access/genam.h"
 ->"access/relscan.h"
   ->"utils/rel.h"
     ->"access/strat.h"
       ->"access/skey.h"
	 ->"fmgr.h"

So adding fmgr.h really didn't add anything to the compile, hopefully
just made it clearer to the programmer.

some of the ports...

tree "non-PORTNAME" dependent.  Technically, anything that is PORTNAME
dependent should be able to be derived at compile time, through configure
or through gcc

Add pg_description table for info on tables, columns, operators, types, and aggregates.  Modify psql with new \dd operator to access description

        * (src/backend/Makefile): Use `ln', not `cd;ln' so that installers
        can wrap ln.

Subject: [PATCHES] AIX make patch resubmitted.

Misc patches for AIX from Darren:

1)  New src/makefiles/Makefile.aix  This patch should only be
    applied if the following patch (4) is applied to backend/Makefile!
    Still looking into having configure determine the last line to do
    the shared link.  The 325 code will work for 41, so I put that in
    as the default.  Included a commented out 41 line for completeness.

*and*

4)  Patch the backend Makefile.  I've reviewed this patch with respect to the
    other ports that use MAKE_EXPORTS (svr4 and univel) as closely as I could
    and I don't see where it will break them.  If it does, please let me know
    and I'll rework it somehow.

FreeBSD

The Makefile(s) have all been cleaned up such that there is a single
LDFLAGS vs LD_ADD or LDADD or LDFLAGS or LDFLAGS_BE.  The Makefile(s)
should be alot more straightforward then they were before...and
consistent

Subject: [HACKERS] backend Makefile patch

This patch cleans up backend/Makefile a little bit, and prevents it from
relinking the backend binary when no changes have been made.

so you can also link pgtclsh.
