Backpatch to 9.2 like the previous attempt. We haven't made a release that

locale of existing clusters from "norwegian-bokmal" to "Norwegian_Norway".
(Doing any mapping like this at all requires changing the locale of
existing databases; the release notes need to include instructions for
that).
What instructions do you have in mind to give?
I wrote preliminary instructions here:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/attachment/35205/fix-bokmal-pg_database.txt.
Another method is to use pg_upgrade. I'll need to format that for the
release notes, and add more explanation of what the issue is and who it
applies to.
Or perhaps it would be better to put those instructions on a wiki page,
so that we can easily add to it later if necessary?
Ok, I have created a wiki page for these instructions:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Changes_To_Norwegian_Locale
They can be moved to the release notes, or we can just add a note there
with a link to the wiki page. I think the latter would be better.
Suggested reference in the release notes:
Migration to Version X
If you are a Windows user, using the "Norwegian (Bokmål)" locale, manual
action is needed after the upgrade, to replace the "Norwegian
(Bokmål)_Norway" locale names stored in system catalogs with its
pure-ASCII alias, "Norwegian_Norway". More information is available at
