This is what I ended up doing:


cd /tmp

wget https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v12.8/postgresql-12.8.tar.gz

tar xzf postgresql-12.8.tar.gz

mkdir /tmp/pgsql

cd postgresql-12.8

make clean #because I screwed up as I didn't run the ./configure script 
properly

./configure --prefix=/tmp/pgsql

make

make install

cd /tmp/pgsql

su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp//pgsql/bin -d 
/var/db/postgres/data12 -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data13/ 
-U postgres "

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start


There were two post upgrade suggestions which I've lost now, in terms of 
running two scripts:

analyze_new_cluster.sh - was one but I've lost the other :-(


Postgres13 started fine so it is kind of done ;-)
