Hi!
During a Patroni PR discussion
(https://github.com/zalando/patroni/pull/2225), we realised that if one
wants to use the "-c" option on a typical Debian/Ubuntu installation
(where the config resides below /etc/postgresql/), pg_rewind needs a way
to be told where the postgresql.conf actually is.
The attached patch implements this as an option.
I'm extremely unhappy that I called it "--config-file" here, while
"postgres" itself wants "--config_file". But as the other dashed options
of pg_rewind are, well, dashed and not underscored, it seemed to be
better that the other way...
As the "-c" feature appeared in 12 and existing Debian installations are
unable to use it right now, I suggest to even backport the patch.
Oh, and I'm still not subscribed to -hackers, so the usual "please CC
me" applies!
Best regards,
