Description Max Semenik 2011-06-14 18:38:53 UTC 
If we chose to use the same account as for installation, the installer throws notice:

Notice: Undefined variable: exists in D:\Projects\MediaWiki branches\1.17\includes\installer\PostgresInstaller.php on line 299

and then refuses to continue with the following message:

The specified user "postgres" does not exist. Please click the "create account" checkbox below if you want to create it.

Apparently, some recent fixes weren't backported.
Comment 1 Rob Lanphier 2011-06-14 19:03:36 UTC 
Per IRC, I'm not convinced we should block 1.17 for this.  In the name of more frequent releases, I would rather warn PostgreSQL users that this release has issues and work on making 1.18 better.
Comment 2 Chad H. 2011-06-14 19:07:38 UTC 
This seems to already be fixed in trunk, $exists is now defined unconditionally, just need to peg the rev and backport.
Comment 3 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-06-14 20:29:33 UTC 
Looks like tarball was made of pre r89823 code.  Assigning to Tim so he is aware of the problem.
Comment 4 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-06-14 21:22:31 UTC 
Sorry, my bad.  Looks like r89855 wasn't merged to 1.17 branch.
Comment 5 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-06-16 17:21:39 UTC 
Merged in r90104
