Hi,
Debian has been patching pg_regress for years because our default unix
socket directory is /var/run/postgresql, but that is not writable by
the build user at build time. This used to be a pretty ugly "make-
patch-make check-unpatch-make install" patch dance, but now it is a
pretty patch that makes pg_regress accept --host=/tmp.
The patch is already part of the .deb files on apt.postgresql.org and
passes all regression test suites there.
Please consider it for 9.3. (And maybe backpatch it all the way...)
Christoph
