2017-11-17Remove contrib/start-scripts/osx/.Tom Lane
Since those scripts haven't worked at all in macOS releases of 2014 and later, and aren't the recommended way to do it on any release since 2005, there seems little point carrying them into the future. It's very unlikely that anyone would be installing PG >= 11 on a macOS release where they couldn't use contrib/start-scripts/macos/. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/31338.1510763554@sss.pgh.pa.us
2017-11-17Provide modern examples of how to auto-start Postgres on macOS.Tom Lane
The scripts in contrib/start-scripts/osx don't work at all on macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) or later, because they depend on SystemStarter which Apple deprecated long ago and removed in 10.10. Add a new subdirectory contrib/start-scripts/macos with scripts that use the newer launchd infrastructure. Since this problem is independent of which Postgres version you're using, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/31338.1510763554@sss.pgh.pa.us
