postgis_restore.pl createdb parameters are used also for createlang -> crash

[havatv]

I have installed 1.4.0, and wanted to test a hard upgrade using postgis_restore.pl, as described in the user manual (​http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.4/ch02.html#hard_upgrade - 2.7.2 Hard upgrade).

The user manual says that postgis_restore.pl can take parameters and pass them on to createdb. This works fine. However, these parameters are also passed on to createlang, which is not happy with the createdb specific options and therefore aborts, so postgis_restore.pl is aborted as well.

With the example used in the documentation (sh utils/postgis_restore.pl postgis.sql newdb olddb.dump -E=UNICODE), I get the following error message (Norwegian translation: "ugyldig flagg": invalid flag):

    createlang: ugyldig flagg -- E
    Try "createlang --help" for more information.

Also: It could perhaps be useful to include info on upgrade in the release notes, even if soft upgrade is recommended by default (there has not been any mention of upgrading in the release notes since 1.1.6).

Is this not a duplicate of #100?

ATB,

Replying to mcayland:

It seems so. Sorry. I should have checked.

Only new thing is the comment on mentioning upgrade procedures in the release notes.
