[postgis-devel] Small Patch(es)

[strk at refractions.net]

Markus, I wouldn't add more complexity to an already complex
versioning scheme. The problem is generally knowing wether
the postgis scripts installed into your db are compatible
with the one the postgis library is intended to be coupled.
This is done by checking postgis_scripts_released() against
postgis_scripts_installed(). This operation is performed
but the postgis_full_version() wrapper. Example:

lwgeom=# select postgis_full_version();
                                     postgis_full_version                       
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 POSTGIS="1.0.0-20050111095041" USE_STATS DBPROC="0.0.1" RELPROC="0.1.0" (needs proc upgrade)
(1 row)

Of course, when playing with CVS these versions are not changed between
revisions, and this is your current problem. The good information for
you would then be RCSid of the lwpostgis.sql.in file, as builds at
different date do not change revision of the scripts file, while commits
actually do. The RCSid could be made part of postgis_scripts_*() outputs
or have their own function.

What do you think ?
