[postgis-users] Migration 0.9 to 1.0 cvs

[strk at refractions.net]

Stefano,
the postgis_restore.pl does not install libraries, simply 
sources the lwpostgis.sql file and *then* restores the dump
removing all functions, aggregates, types operators
and operator classes defined in the .sql file.

postgis_restore.pl output reports its activity using
KEEPING FUNCTION|TYPE|... <object>
and
SKIPPING FUNCTION|TYPE|.... <object>

If you find any 'KEEPING' like with a function,type,etc. which
belongs to postgis this means that postgis_restore.pl was unable
to find a match between objects listed in the dump and objects
defined in the .sql. This can be the case as pg_restore -l output
seems to be changing between postgresql releases. If this happens
you'll be restoring objects of the old installation, which would 
be pointing wherever you made them point at old installation time.

You might want to send me the output of postgis_restore.pl so I can
tell you more.

--strk;
