Log message:
Bump the PKGREVISION for all packages which depend directly on perl,
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!

Log message:
Changes 8.4.4:

validator for the function
* Do constraint exclusion for inherited "UPDATE" and \
"DELETE" target
tables when constraint_exclusion = partition
* Do not allow an unprivileged user to reset superuser-only parameter
settings
* Avoid possible crash during backend shutdown if shutdown occurs

* Fix assorted memory leaks in pl/python
* Handle empty-string connect parameters properly in ecpg
* Prevent infinite recursion in psql when expanding a variable that
refers to itself
* Fix psql's \copy to not add spaces around a dot within \copy
(select ...)
* Avoid formatting failure in psql when running in a locale context
that doesn't match the client_encoding

interrupts promptly
* Make server startup deal properly with the case that shmget()
returns EINVAL for an existing shared memory segment

Log message:
Changes 8.4.3:
* Add new configuration parameter ssl_renegotiation_limit to control
how often we do session key renegotiation for an SSL connection
* Fix possible deadlock during backend startup
* Fix possible crashes due to not handling errors during relcache
reload cleanly
* Fix possible crash due to use of dangling pointer to a cached plan
* Fix possible crash due to overenthusiastic invalidation of cached
plan for "ROLLBACK"
* Fix possible crashes when trying to recover from a failure in
subtransaction start
* Fix server memory leak associated with use of savepoints and a
client encoding different from server's encoding
* Fix incorrect WAL data emitted during end-of-recovery cleanup of a
GIST index page split
* Fix bug in WAL redo cleanup method for GIN indexes
* Fix incorrect comparison of scan key in GIN index search
* Make substring() for bit types treat any negative length as meaning
"all the rest of the string"
The previous coding treated only -1 that way, and would produce an
invalid result value for other negative values, possibly leading to
a crash (CVE-2010-0442).
* Fix integer-to-bit-string conversions to handle the first
fractional byte correctly when the output bit width is wider than
the given integer by something other than a multiple of 8 bits
* Fix some cases of pathologically slow regular expression matching
* Fix bug occurring when trying to inline a SQL function that returns
a set of a composite type that contains dropped columns
* Fix bug with trying to update a field of an element of a
composite-type array column
* Avoid failure when "EXPLAIN" has to print a FieldStore or
assignment ArrayRef expression
These cases can arise now that "EXPLAIN VERBOSE" tries to print
plan node target lists.
* Avoid an unnecessary coercion failure in some cases where an
undecorated literal string appears in a subquery within
"UNION"/"INTERSECT"/"EXCEPT"
This fixes a regression for some cases that worked before 8.4.
* Avoid undesirable rowtype compatibility check failures in some
cases where a whole-row Var has a rowtype that contains dropped
columns
* Fix the STOP WAL LOCATION entry in backup history files to report
the next WAL segment's name when the end location is exactly at a
segment boundary
* Always pass the catalog ID to an option validator function
specified in "CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER"
* Fix some more cases of temporary-file leakage
* Add support for doing FULL JOIN ON FALSE
* Improve constraint exclusion processing of boolean-variable cases,
in particular make it possible to exclude a partition that has a
"bool_column = false" constraint
* Prevent treating an INOUT cast as representing binary compatibility
* Include column name in the message when warning about inability to
grant or revoke column-level privileges
This is more useful than before and helps to prevent confusion when
a "REVOKE" generates multiple messages, which formerly appeared to
be duplicates.
* When reading "pg_hba.conf" and related files, do not treat
@something as a file inclusion request if the @ appears inside
quote marks; also, never treat @ by itself as a file inclusion
request
* Prevent infinite loop on some platforms if a directory is named as
an inclusion target in "pg_hba.conf" and related files
* Fix possible infinite loop if SSL_read or SSL_write fails without
setting errno
This is reportedly possible with some Windows versions of openssl.
* Disallow GSSAPI authentication on local connections, since it
requires a hostname to function correctly
* Protect ecpg against applications freeing strings unexpectedly
* Make ecpg report the proper SQLSTATE if the connection disappears
* Fix translation of cell contents in psql \d output
* Fix psql's numericlocale option to not format strings it shouldn't
in latex and troff output formats
* Fix a small per-query memory leak in psql
* Make psql return the correct exit status (3) when ON_ERROR_STOP and
--single-transaction are both specified and an error occurs during
the implied "COMMIT"
* Fix pg_dump's output of permissions for foreign servers
* Fix possible crash in parallel pg_restore due to out-of-range
dependency IDs
* Fix plpgsql failure in one case where a composite column is set to NULL
* Fix possible failure when calling PL/Perl functions from PL/PerlU
or vice versa
* Add volatile markings in PL/Python to avoid possible
compiler-specific misbehavior
* Ensure PL/Tcl initializes the Tcl interpreter fully
The only known symptom of this oversight is that the Tcl clock
command misbehaves if using Tcl 8.5 or later.
* Prevent ExecutorEnd from being run on portals created within a
failed transaction or subtransaction
This is known to cause issues when using "contrib/auto_explain".
* Prevent crash in "contrib/dblink" when too many key columns are
specified to a dblink_build_sql_* function
* Allow zero-dimensional arrays in "contrib/ltree" operations
* Fix assorted crashes in "contrib/xml2" caused by sloppy memory
management
* Make building of "contrib/xml2" more robust on Windows
* Fix race condition in Windows signal handling
One known symptom of this bug is that rows in pg_listener could be
dropped under heavy load.
* Make the configure script report failure if the C compiler does not
provide a working 64-bit integer datatype
This case has been broken for some time, and no longer seems worth
supporting, so just reject it at configure time instead.
* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2010e for DST law
changes in Bangladesh, Chile, Fiji, Mexico, Paraguay, Samoa.

Log message:
Many of the changes in PostgreSQL 8.4 are new or improved administration and
monitoring tools and commands. Each user has their own favorite features which
will make day-to-day work with PostgreSQL easier and more productive for them.
Among the most popular enhancements are:
* Parallel Database Restore, speeding up recovery from backup up to 8 times
* Per-Column Permissions, allowing more granular control of sensitive data
* Per-database Collation Support, making PostgreSQL more useful in
multi-lingual environments
* In-place Upgrades through pg_migrator (beta), enabling upgrades from 8.3 to
8.4 without extensive downtime
* New Query Monitoring Tools, giving administrators more insight into query
activity
* Greatly Reduced VACUUM Overhead through the Visibility Map
* New Monitoring Tools for current queries, query load and deadlocks
Version 8.4 also makes data analysis easier through the advanced ANSI SQL2003
features of windowing functions, common table expressions and recursive queries.
Enhancements to stored procedures, such as default parameters and variadic
parameters, make database server programming simpler and more compact.
Of course, there are also performance improvements included in this version.
