I discovered the hard way that on some old shells, the locution
FOO="" unset FOO
does not behave the same as
FOO=""; unset FOO
and in fact leaves FOO set to an empty string. test.sh was inconsistently
spelling it different ways on adjacent lines.
This got broken relatively recently, in commit c737a2e56, so the lack of
field reports to date doesn't represent a lot of evidence that the problem
is rare.
The NetBSD shell apparently returns non-zero from an unset command if
the variable is already unset. This matters when, as in pg_upgrade's
test.sh, we are working under 'set -e'. To protect against this, we
first set the PG variables to an empty string before unsetting them
completely.
Error found on buildfarm member coypu, solution from Rémi Zara.
Windows sometimes gets upset if we rename a large directory and then try
to use the old name quickly, as seen in occasional buildfarm failures.
So we avoid that by building the old version in the intended
destination in the first place instead of renaming it, similar to the
change made for the same reason in commit b7f8465c.
This is now used by ecpg tests, and not clobbered by pg_upgrade
tests. This change won't affect anything that doesn't set this
environment variable, but will enable the buildfarm to control
exactly what port regression test installs will be running on,
and thus to detect possible rogue postmasters more easily.
Backpatch to release 9.2 where EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS was first used.
On non-Windows machines, we use the Unix socket for connections to test
postmasters, so there is no need to create a TCP socket. Furthermore,
doing so causes failures due to port conflicts if two builds are carried
out concurrently on one machine. (If the builds are done in different
chroots, which is standard practice at least in Red Hat distros, there
is no risk of conflict on the Unix socket.) Suppressing the TCP socket
by setting listen_addresses to empty has long been standard practice
for pg_regress, and pg_upgrade knows about this too ... but pg_upgrade's
test.sh didn't get the memo.
Back-patch to 9.2, and also sync the 9.2 version of the script with HEAD
as much as practical.
Call pg_dumpall using -f switch instead of redirection, to avoid
writing the output in text mode and generating spurious carriage
returns. Remove to carriage return ignoring hack introduced by
commit e442b0f0c6fd26738bafdeb5222511b586dfe4b9.
Backpatch to 9.2.
This syncs contrib/pg_upgrade in the 9.2 branch with HEAD, except for the
HEAD changes related to converting XLogRecPtr to 64-bit int. It includes
back-patching these commits:

Fix pg_upgrade to cope with non-default unix_socket_directory scenarios.
It runs the regression tests, runs pg_upgrade on the populated
database, and compares the before and after dumps. While not actually
a cross-version upgrade, this does detect omissions and bugs in the
involved tools from time to time. It's also possible to do a
cross-version upgrade by manually supplying parameters.
