I have been looking at that. Here are some findings:
- In pg_archivecleanup, CleanupPriorWALFiles() does not bother
exit()'ing with an error code. Shouldn't we worry about reporting
that correctly? It seems strange to not inform users about paths that
would be broken, as that could bloat the archives without one knowing
about it.
- In pg_basebackup.c, ReceiveTarAndUnpackCopyChunk() would not
exit() when failing to change permissions for non-WIN32.
- pg_recvlogical is missing a failure handling for fstat(), as of
5c0de38.
- pg_verifybackup is in the wrong, as mentioned upthread.
Thoughts? All that does not seem to enter into the category of things
worth back-patching, except for pg_verifybackup.
