Rearrange src/test/perl/README so that the first section is more clearly "how to run these tests", and the rest "how to write new tests". Add some basic info there about debugging test failures. Then, add cross-refs to that READNE from other READMEs that describe how to run TAP tests. Per suggestion from Kevin Burke, though this is not his original patch.

Regression tests for authentication
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
This directory contains a test suite for authentication. SSL certificate
|
|
authentication tests are kept separate, in src/test/ssl/, because they
|
|
are more complicated, and are not safe to run in a multi-user system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running the tests
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You must have given the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.
|
|
|
|
Run
|
|
make check
|
|
or
|
|
make installcheck
|
|
You can use "make installcheck" if you previously did "make install".
|
|
In that case, the code in the installation tree is tested. With
|
|
"make check", a temporary installation tree is built from the current
|
|
sources and then tested.
|
|
|
|
Either way, this test initializes, starts, and stops a test Postgres
|
|
cluster.
|
|
|
|
See src/test/perl/README for more info about running these tests.
