Well, my case is "trying to get the TAP tests running even if another
Postgres is listening on port 5432". Indeed you're right that one can
use --postgresql-conf (Petr Jelinek also suggested that in the upstream
bug I filed[1]), but the TAP tests reuse the same postgresql.conf for
both publisher and subscriber, so that would need more changes anyway.
Or maybe something more has changed and it's possible to run the
pglogical TAP tests these days without a problem if there is another
PostgreSQL listening on 5432 already, I'll need to investigate that when
I get the time, but that is somewhat low priority.

I've uploaded a new pglogical package now which backs out the
problematic patch and sets PGPORT in the TAP tests environment before
running pglogical_create_subscriber, that seems to work just as well (or
at least just as badly as before).


Cheers,

Michael
