I'm not sure if these were those or not though, Andrew was the one who reviewed the various pg_dumpall calls to add --no-sync in places. Thanks! Stephen

Well, Andrew has pushed the patch I have written, and the calls of pg_dumpall in pg_upgrade use --no-sync. The ones intentionally left are in src/bin/pg_dump/t/002_pg_dump.pl. -- Michael

I think Peter's on about the Windows case. Not sure how that's handled,
but it's not "make check".

So perhaps we could keep upgradecheck for a short time but make it a noop instead with this patch, and then remove it once buildfarm animals are upgraded to a newer client version? I would prefer seeing a simple removal of upgradecheck at the end, and put all TAP tests for binaries under the bincheck path. This feels more natural. -- Michael

That makes sense. There will be additional overhead with the creation
of an extra server though.

Right, simply removing support for something which has been here for a
long time is no fun. I think that we should add in PostgresNode
objects a new bindir variable which will be used to define path to
binaries. Any new node created needs to go through init() or
init_from_backup(), so a node created with init() would set this
bindir to what pg_config in PATH reports, or to the value defined by
the caller if it is defined (let's use an option for %params). A node
created from init_from_backup() inherits the path of its root node.
This requires a bit of refactoring first. This could help also for
cross version tests out of the code core.
In the existing scripts, there are the following variables:
- oldsrc, old version's source tree
- oldbindir, old version's installed bin dir
- bindir, this version's installed bin dir.
- libdir, this version's installed lib dir
bindir and libdir are pointing to the currently installed version in
the tree, so we could do without it, no? oldbindir and oldsrc need to
be kept around to enforce the position of binaries for the old
version, as well as a proper shape of the original dump being compared
(+ drop of the past functions).
Then, for the pg_upgrade tests, let's check for ENV{oldbindir} and
enforce the bindir value of the PostgresNode to-be-upgraded. And also
for ENV{oldsrc}, first check if it is defined, and then do the
existing psql/dump changes. So one, in order to run cross-version
checks, would just need to rely on the fact that the version where
installcheck runs is the new version. Does that sound acceptable?
Looking at 5bab198, those don't run that often, but I definitely agree
that breaking something for no apparent reason is not cool either ;p

Or we could make upgradecheck a noop, then remove it once all the MSVC
animals have upgraded to a newer version of the buildfarm client which
does not use upgradecheck anymore (I am fine to send a patch or a pull
request to Andrew for that).

This patch is logged as "waiting on author" in the current commit fest, but any new patch will depend on the feedback that any other hacker has to offer based on the set of ideas I have posted upthread. Hence I am yet unsure what is the correct way to move things forward. So, any opinions?
