Translatability was turned on for pg_upgrade on pg10, but it needs some
work. The choices are we fix it now, or we revert the addition of NLS
there and we do it for PG11.
I think the ugliest one is to change the messages about "the %s server",
which are about a dozen -- things like:
msgid "pg_ctl failed to start the %s server, or connection failed\n"
where the %s is either "new" or "old".
These need be to be split in two messages, and I think I'd replace the
"old" with "source" and "new" with "target". Something like this:
*** a/src/bin/pg_upgrade/server.c
--- b/src/bin/pg_upgrade/server.c
***************
*** 285,293 **** start_postmaster(ClusterInfo *cluster, bool throw_error)
PQerrorMessage(conn));
if (conn)
PQfinish(conn);
! pg_fatal("could not connect to %s postmaster started with the command:\n"
! "%s\n",
! CLUSTER_NAME(cluster), cmd);
}
PQfinish(conn);
--- 285,297 ----
PQerrorMessage(conn));
if (conn)
PQfinish(conn);
! if (cluster == &old_cluster)
! pg_fatal("could not connect to source postmaster started with the command:\n"
! "%s\n", cmd);
! else
! pg_fatal("could not connect to target postmaster started with the command:\n"
! "%s\n", cmd);
!
}
PQfinish(conn);
Aye or nay?
