Peter Eisentraut	b6a0d469ca	meson: Prevent installation of test files during main install Previously, meson installed modules under src/test/modules/ as part of a normal installation, even though these files are only meant for use by tests. This is because there is no way to set up up the build system to install extra things only when told. This patch fixes that with a workaround: We don't install these modules as part of meson install, but we create a new "test" that runs before the real tests whose action it is to install these files. The installation is done by manual copies using a small helper script.

Andres Freund	902ab2fcef	meson: Add windows resource files The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in at least the make build. Additionally, the meson build falls back to a "auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases - unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

Andres Freund	e6927270cd	meson: Add initial version of meson based build system Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system. After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects. We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of the new build system and mature it in tree. This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but building slower). Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only extensions) are not yet addressed. When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism. The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported versions build with meson.

Tom Lane	70a7732007	Remove support for upgrading extensions from "unpackaged" state. Andres Freund pointed out that allowing non-superusers to run "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM unpackaged" has security risks, since the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts don't try to verify that the existing objects they're modifying are what they expect. Just attaching such objects to an extension doesn't seem too dangerous, but some of them do more than that. We could have resolved this, perhaps, by still requiring superuser privilege to use the FROM option. However, it's fair to ask just what we're accomplishing by continuing to lug the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts forward. None of them have received any real testing since 9.1 days, so they may not even work anymore (even assuming that one could still load the previous "loose" object definitions into a v13 database). And an installation that's trying to go from pre-9.1 to v13 or later in one jump is going to have worse compatibility problems than whether there's a trivial way to convert their contrib modules into extension style. Hence, let's just drop both those scripts and the core-code support for "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM". Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200213233015.r6rnubcvl4egdh5r@alap3.anarazel.de	6 years ago

Andres Freund	01368e5d9d	Split all OBJS style lines in makefiles into one-line-per-entry style. When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve. By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one object per line, conflicts should be less frequent, and easier to resolve when they still occur.

Robert Haas	7ada2d31f4	Remove contrib/tsearch2. This module was intended to ease migrations of applications that used the pre-8.3 version of text search to the in-core version introduced in that release. However, since all pre-8.3 releases of the database have been out of support for more than 5 years at this point, we expect that few people are depending on it at this point. If some people still need it, nothing prevents it from being maintained as a separate extension, outside of core.

Alvaro Herrera	22dfd116a1	Move test modules from contrib to src/test/modules This is advance preparation for introducing even more test modules; the easy solution is to add them to contrib, but that's bloated enough that it seems a good time to think of something different. Moved modules are dummy_seclabel, test_shm_mq, test_parser and worker_spi. (test_decoding was also a candidate, but there was too much opposition to moving that one. We can always reconsider later.)	11 years ago
