In response to drop postmaster symlink  (Peter Eisentraut <peter.eisentraut@enterprisedb.com>)
List pgsql-hackers

When creating a private service for another instance of PostgreSQL I used the template of postgresql-15.service file installed into /usr/lib/systemd/system on Fedora 38 provided through the installation for postgres 15.3 from PGDG repositories.


There I noticed that the line ExecStart still uses the postmaster link.


I would propose to change it to

ExecStart=/usr/pgsql-15/bin/postgres -D $(PGDATA)


This change should apply also to back branches to avoid using deprecated links in PGDG software.

This seems to be necessesary on upcoming PG16.


(BTW: where is this all documented?)
