Otherwise, leading whitespace is propagated into the product, which (at least) messes up the ToC layout. Remove (some) docinfo tags containing dates. Best to omit if the dates are not accurate; maybe use CVS dates instead or leave them out.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hosting product, on both shared and dedicated machines. We currently offer Oracle and MySQL, and it would be a nice middle-ground. However, as shipped, PostgreSQL lacks the following features we need that MySQL has: 1. The ability to listen only on a particular IP address. Each hosting customer has their own IP address, on which all of their servers (http, ftp, real media, etc.) run. 2. The ability to place the Unix-domain socket in a mode 700 directory. This allows us to automatically create an empty database, with an empty DBA password, for new or upgrading customers without having to interactively set a DBA password and communicate it to (or from) the customer. This in turn cuts down our install and upgrade times. 3. The ability to connect to the Unix-domain socket from within a change-rooted environment. We run CGI programs chrooted to the user's home directory, which is another reason why we need to be able to specify where the Unix-domain socket is, instead of /tmp. 4. The ability to, if run as root, open a pid file in /var/run as root, and then setuid to the desired user. (mysqld -u can almost do this; I had to patch it, too). The patch below fixes problem 1-3. I plan to address #4, also, but haven't done so yet. These diffs are big enough that they should give the PG development team something to think about in the meantime :-) Also, I'm about to leave for 2 weeks' vacation, so I thought I'd get out what I have, which works (for the problems it tackles), now. With these changes, we can set up and run PostgreSQL with scripts the same way we can with apache or proftpd or mysql. In summary, this patch makes the following enhancements: 1. Adds an environment variable PGUNIXSOCKET, analogous to MYSQL_UNIX_PORT, and command line options -k --unix-socket to the relevant programs. 2. Adds a -h option to postmaster to set the hostname or IP address to listen on instead of the default INADDR_ANY. 3. Extends some library interfaces to support the above. 4. Fixes a few memory leaks in PQconnectdb(). The default behavior is unchanged from stock 7.0.2; if you don't use any of these new features, they don't change the operation. David J. MacKenzie

* Start updating for the v7.0 release.Thomas G. Lockhart2000-03-271-5/+5

* Okay, that should put us back in sync. These two patches (src & doc) areBruce Momjian1999-12-071-2/+2

A few other CVS "householding" things you might want to take care of: * Remove the src/bin/cleardbdir directory * Remove the file src/bin/psql/sql_help.h from the repository, as it is a derived file and is build by the release_prep.
