physical should be logical

Hi, 

On this page, 
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/logical-replication-publication.html

The first line states: A publication can be defined on any physical
replication master.
I have the impression that this should be "logical", not "physical".

Cheers,

Good find.  This directory was removed last week in this commit:

commit 8a2121185b
Author: Tom Lane 
Date:   Wed Oct 21 12:08:48 2020 -0400

Remove the option to build thread_test.c outside configure.

Theoretically one could go into src/test/thread and build/run this
program there.  In practice, that hasn't worked since 96bf88d52,
and probably much longer on some platforms (likely including just
the sort of hoary leftovers where this test might be of interest).
While it wouldn't be too hard to repair the breakage, the fact that
nobody has noticed for two years shows that there is zero usefulness
in maintaining this build pathway.  Let's get rid of it and decree
that thread_test.c is *only* meant to be built/used in configure.

Given that decision, it makes sense to put thread_test.c under 
config/
and get rid of src/test/thread altogether, so that's what I did.

In passing, update src/test/README, which had been ignored by some
not-so-recent additions of subdirectories.

Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/227659.1603041...@sss.pgh.pa.us

I have applied the attached patch to all branches to remove the
paragraph.  I think the docs are only built when there is a minor
release, so it might take a few weeks until the online docs are updated.
You found this very quickly.  :-)

The removal only happened in HEAD, so I'm unclear on why you back-patched
this doc change?

But thanks for finding the reference; I'd only searched for test/thread,
not tools/thread.  Looks like src/template/netbsd has an old reference
too.

Uh, in my source tree that is a symlink to
src/backend/catalog/pg_type_d.h, but that file is generated by
src/backend/catalog/genbki.pl.  Does that help you?

Uh, at the top of all my branches, I typed:

ls */src/tools/thread

and saw no hits in _any_ of the branches.  I now see that the problem
wasn't that /src/_tools_/thread was removed but that the docs referenced
it instead of src/_test_/thread.  However, it doesn't compile because of
the pg_printf reference.  I am thinking removing the paragraph in the
back branches was the right thing to do all along.  Agreed?

Remove that too?

Presumably this text is a leftover from before 8.2:

  Author: Bruce Momjian 
  Branch: master Release: REL8_2_BR [9e66c3e6f] 2006-02-04 01:00:02 +

Move thread_test directory from /tools to /test so source-only tarballs
have the directory for the configure test.

It probably worked okay on most platforms before v12 (96bf88d52).
We could put back the text and fix where it pointed to, but on the
other hand I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.  Obviously nobody
has paid any attention to that para in a long time.

Yeah, I think we could just nuke that line.

I think you are right that removal is appropriate.
