I'm using CentOS and updating Postgres with yum. Whenever Postgres is updated (even minor updates) the .bash_profile is replaced with the lines below. I was happy to see the idea of the .psql_profile added fairly recently, but I don't understand why the last line is commented out. I still have to remember to uncomment the last line in this file every time I update Postgres which seems to defeat the purpose.
The reason I need .pgsql_profile is that lots of useful Postgres executables (e.g. pg_archivecleanup) are not in the postgres path. Does everyone just use the full path name and change this in the configuration file for major updates?
[ -f /etc/profile ] && source /etc/profile PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/9.5/data export PGDATA # If you want to customize your settings, # Use the file below. This is not overridden # by the RPMS. #[ -f /var/lib/pgsql/.pgsql_profile ] && source /var/lib/pgsql/.pgsql_profile
This is outside the purview of the core project.
You'll probably get some visibility here but the appropriate place for package-related questions is on the lists or sites that the packager makes available.
