I'd rather see that as a part of contrib/ if possible. Is there any
portion of the code you have in mind that makes mandatory putting it
in src/bin?
Archiving transaction logs reliably is a basic responsibility of DBMS, so I
think it should be treated as part of the core. It is not a desirable
feature but actually a mandatory one to persist transaction logs. Even if
it were a "better to have" feature, it can be put in the core like
pg_basebackup and pg_isready, which are not mandatory tools.
* Should I complete the work before 9.4 beta so that it will be available
starting with 9.4? I think so because it is a basic capability to
archive
transaction logs safely (although the time may not allow me to do this).
Pursing efforts on a utility like that is worth the shot IMO (I would
use it for sure if it has reliable cross-platform support to unify
sets of replication scripts), but including it in 9.4 is out of scope.
A saner target would be the 1st commit fest of 9.5.
OK, I don't mind if it should be targeted at 9.4 or 9.5. If someone wants
it for 9.4, I try to hurry.
