I recently posted a patch to pg_regress to limit
parallelism for cygwin to a maximum of 10, so that "make check" could
succeed. Tom preferred that this should be settable by the user explicitly
rather than hard coded (and hidden), and not limited by platform, so that you
could say
make MAX_CONNECTIONS=10 check
or
pg_regress --max-connections=10
Adding these switches should be quite
straightforward., and I'm prepared to do it. I think it's important that we can
run "make check" everywhere.
A slightly simpler alternative would be to provide
"make serialcheck" which would run the serial schedule of tests in a temp
installation.
Thoughts?
