[postgis-devel] Pg13 upgrade issues?

[Paul Ramsey]

I'm taking this from chat to email because chat isn't very durable.

As far as I can tell, we have outstanding Pg13 issues [1], demonstrable
just by running

   make installcheck

At a minimum, the run_test.pl script in --extension --upgrade mode will
tests upgrades from 'unpackaged', which are now unavailable in Pg13. So
that test needs to be lopped out or version flagged.

More maximally, I am unsure what our situation is for 2.X->3.X upgrades,
since we were dependent on using the unpackaged source version to bundle up
the postgis_raster extension. Are we still? Is this something with a fix
planned, or is the fix to tell people "don't do that" and direct them
through an upgrade chain of 12/2->12/3->13/3?

I just confirmed that I can build, install and enable 2.5 under Pg13, so an
upgrade path via 12/3 could be a problem going forward.

    POSTGIS="2.5.5dev r17978" [EXTENSION] PGSQL="130"
GEOS="3.9.0-CAPI-1.14.0"

Any information about current state of upgrade versus Pg13?

Thanks,
P
