delta/postgresql.git, branch REL8_4_0 git.postgresql.org: git/postgresql.git Revert addition of "o" to tar options. This was intended to fix bug #4883, 2009-06-27T21:06:46+00:00 Tom Lane tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us 2009-06-27T21:06:46+00:00 4d53a2f9699547bdc12831d2860c9d44c465e805 but the cure appears to be worse than the disease. It turns out that GNU tar versions 1.14.x misinterpret -o as --same-owner, not --no-same-owner, leading to exactly the wrong behavior for both root and nonroot users. While that bug has been fixed for nearly five years, these tar versions are still found in the wild, notably in OS X 10.4. Given that #4883 was the first complaint we'd heard, it's definitely not worth fixing at the risk of breaking things for other users. Perhaps revisit at a later date when we're not up against a release deadline.

archive recovery.  Invent a separate state variable and inquiry function
for XLogInsertAllowed() to clarify some tests and make the management of
writing the end-of-recovery checkpoint less klugy.  Fix several places
that were incorrectly testing InRecovery when they should be looking at
RecoveryInProgress or XLogInsertAllowed (because they will now be executed
in the bgwriter not startup process).  Clarify handling of bad LSNs passed
to XLogFlush during recovery.  Use a spinlock for setting/testing
SharedRecoveryInProgress.  Improve quite a lot of comments.
