X-Git-Tag: 2.4.4~8 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c638dc3b82737ba46952f8ad0bdf37614a48d859;p=postgis note in docs about soft upgrade that legacy.sql must be rerun for each minor. Closes #2960 for PostGIS 2.4.4 git-svn-id: http://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/branches/2.4@16495 b70326c6-7e19-0410-871a-916f4a2858ee --- diff --git a/doc/installation.xml b/doc/installation.xml index b6e0100cd..e57637e9b 100644 --- a/doc/installation.xml +++ b/doc/installation.xml @@ -1401,6 +1401,9 @@ All 2 tests passed. If you plan to restore an old backup from prior versions in this new db, run: psql -d [yourdatabase] -f legacy.sql + If you need legacy functions, you'll need to reinstall the legacy.sql script whenever you upgrade the minor version of PostGIS. + E.g. if you upgraded from 2.3.7 to 2.4.4, then you need to reinstall the legacy.sql packaged with 2.4.4. This is because some of the functions make reference to the library + and the library is named with the minor in it. You can later run uninstall_legacy.sql to get rid of the deprecated functions after you are done with restoring and cleanup.
