Hm. A renaming still needs to happen afterwards anyway, no? When a segment is created with a given name pg_receivewal cannot know if the segment it is working on will be the last partial segment of a given timeline. And what would be changed in the segment name is the addition of the new TLI, not the previous one. > That means every archive command needs to deal with this issue on its own. > It's definitely not a trivial thing to do. > > It's obviously strong to call this a bug, but there's very clearly an issue > here. I wonder if there is anything else we can do that would work? Well, that's a visibility change, and I can see that Robert and I are on the same page here. It is annoying for people to do a minor release with a RPM replacement and then potentially have to change things in urgency. Nothing good comes out of such situations. -- Michael
