The previous version of these tests expected uuid_generate_v1() to always emit MAC addresses with the local-admin and multicast address bits zero. However, several of the buildfarm critters are reporting values with the local-admin bit set. (Perhaps they're running inside VMs or jails.) And a couple are reporting values with the multicast bit set, probably meaning that the UUID library couldn't read the system MAC address. Also, it emerges that if OSSP UUID can't read the system MAC address, it falls back to V1MC behavior wherein the whole node field gets randomized each time, breaking the test that expected the node field to remain stable in V1 output. (It looks like e2fs doesn't behave that way, though.) It's not entirely clear why we can't get a system MAC address, since the buildfarm scripts would not work without internet access. Nonetheless, the regression tests had better cope with the case, so adjust the tests to expect these behaviors.
The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
