Thread: [girgen@FreeBSD.org: Re: port fault on pg_ctl's place]
hello, please read this post and the comment for it, maybe the postgresql may need an update at separating the binaries. this was pointed out in the FreeBSD ports collection. ----- Forwarded message from Palle Girgensohn <girgen@FreeBSD.org> ----- Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 11:52:00 +0100 From: Palle Girgensohn <girgen@FreeBSD.org> To: Gergely CZUCZY <phoemix@harmless.hu> Subject: Re: major port fault on pg_ctl's place Hi! This is wierd, I agree. The split between server and client is really made in the postgresql sources, I just follow their guidelines. None the less, I'll look into patching the sources to get this correct. Thanks for pointing it out.

[ checks RPM specfiles ... ] Both Devrim and I put pg_ctl in the server
subpackage, dunno where you think that the sources encourage something
else ...

Actually there's quite a lot of stuff under src/bin that has no value in
a client-only installation: initdb, ipcclean, pg_controldata,
pg_resetxlog ... probably those instructions need some amendment.

From INSTALL:
...
Client-only installation: If you want to install only the client
applications and interface libraries, then you can use these
commands:
gmake -C src/bin install
gmake -C src/include install
gmake -C src/interfaces install
gmake -C doc install
...
src/bin has pg_ctl et al. Maybe encourage is a strong word... ;-)
Just moving pg_ctl to the server package and let the server package depend
on libpq.so.5 should help in this case, I guess...
