#5214: Branches 2.5 and 3.0 lost tests of upgrades in presence of data

     Type:  task       |     Status:  assigned
 Priority:  medium     |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.5.8
Component:  buildbots  |    Version:  2.5.x
 Keywords:             |
-----------------------+---------------------------
 With commit [35b17931fdaa743c3f4f215ae9e8fc48f777dd02/git] in stable-2.5
 and [a0c29068d31774ee9e85acc2c0ce685d7a4e3741/git] in stable-3.0 the
 `run_test.pl` script was updated to newest version thus loosing the hard-
 coded objects created before upgrade.

 The new way to test upgrades in presence of data is using hooks but the
 use of hooks was not backported, leaving branches 2.5 and 3.0 uncovered
 from those tests.

 In branch 3.1 I've backported those hooks with commit
 [6ec1e6cafcd53df5890fef65dc776ccd02313181/git] but 3.0 and 2.5 still need
 this threatment.

 We badly need a "testsuite" component I think (buildbots seems more
 specific)
