NOTE TO PACKAGERS: The build system for pgBackRest is now meson. The autoconf/make build will not receive any new features and will be removed after a few releases. Bug Fixes: * Skip zero-length files for block incremental delta restore. (Reviewed by Sebastian Krause, René Højbjerg Larsen. Reported by Sebastian Krause.) * Fix performance regression in storage list. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost. Reported by Maksym Boguk.) * Fix progress logging when file size changes during backup. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost. Reported by samkingno.) Improvements: * Improved support for dual stack connections. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost. Suggested by Timothée Peignier.) * Make meson the primary build system. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost.) * Detect files that have not changed during non-delta incremental backup. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost.) * Prevent invalid recovery when backup_label removed. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost.) * Improve archive-push WAL segment queue handling. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost.) * Limit resume functionality to full backups. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost, Stefan Fercot.) * Update resume functionality for block incremental. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost.) * Allow --version and --help for version and help. (Reviewed by Greg Sabino Mullane. Suggested by Greg Sabino Mullane.) * Add detailed backtrace to autoconf/make build. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost.) Documentation Improvements: * Update references to recovery.conf. (Reviewed by Stefan Fercot. Suggested by Stephen Frost.)
pgBackRest
Building Documentation
General Builds
The pgBackRest documentation can output a variety of formats and target several platforms and PostgreSQL versions.
This will build all documentation with defaults:
./doc.pl
The user guide can be built for rhel and debian. This will build the HTML user guide for RHEL:
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=rhel
Documentation generation will build a cache of all executed statements and use the cache to build the documentation quickly if no executed statements have changed. This makes proofing text-only edits very fast, but sometimes it is useful to do a full build without using the cache:
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=rhel --no-cache
Each os-type has a default container image that will be used as a base for creating hosts but it may be useful to change the image.
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=debian --var=os-image=debian:9
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=rhel --var=os-image=centos:7
The following is a sample RHEL 7 configuration that can be used for building the documentation.
# Install docker
sudo yum install -y yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
sudo yum install -y docker-ce
sudo systemctl start docker
# Install tools
sudo yum install -y git wget
# Install latex (for building PDF)
sudo yum install -y texlive texlive-titlesec texlive-sectsty texlive-framed texlive-epstopdf ghostscript
# Install Perl modules via CPAN that do not have packages
sudo yum install -y yum cpanminus
sudo yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
sudo cpanm install --force XML::Checker::Parser
# Add documentation test user
sudo groupadd test
sudo adduser -gtest -n testdoc
sudo usermod -aG docker testdoc
Building with Packages
A user-specified package can be used when building the documentation. Since the documentation exercises most pgBackRest functionality this is a great way to smoke-test packages.
The package must be located within the pgBackRest repo and the specified path should be relative to the repository base. test/package is a good default path to use.
Ubuntu 16.04:
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=debian --var=os-image=ubuntu:16.04 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest_2.08-0_amd64.deb
RHEL 7:
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=rhel --var=os-image=centos:7 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest-2.08-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
RHEL 8:
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=rhel --var=os-image=centos:8 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest-2.08-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
Packages can be built with test.pl using the following configuration on top of the configuration given for building the documentation.
# Install recent git
sudo yum remove -y git
sudo yum install -y https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
sudo yum install -y git2u-all
# Install Perl modules
sudo yum install -y perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS perl-ExtUtils-Embed perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker perl-YAML-LibYAML
# Install dev libraries
sudo yum install -y libxml2-devel openssl-devel
# Add test user with sudo privileges
sudo adduser -gtest -n test
sudo usermod -aG docker test
sudo chmod 750 /home/test
sudo echo 'test ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' > /etc/sudoers.d/pgbackrest
# Add pgbackrest user required by tests
sudo adduser -gtest -n pgbackrest
