Thread: pgxs docdir question
Where does PGXS makefile get /usr/share/doc/pgsql/contrib directory from? While building 3rd party RPMs using PGXS, even if I specify docdir in Makefile, README.* files are installed to this directory, which breaks parallel installation path as of 9.0+ Speficially, I want to install READMEs under /usr/pgsql-9.0/share/contrib for 9.0. How do I do that?

See > http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2010-01/msg00025.php Well it's been working fine in debian without that for a long time now. I've taken the liberty to CC Martin Pitt, because I don't have the time to look at how things are done exactly in his debian packaging there. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Epitti/postgresql/common/files https://code.launchpad.net/postgresql Regards, -- dim

It did not work for me, and I'm hacking spec files in order to install docs under somewhere else. -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ PostgreSQL Danışmanı/Consultant, Red Hat Certified Engineer PostgreSQL RPM Repository: http://yum.pgrpms.org Community: devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz

I just tried it, and AFAICT the makefiles do honor "configure --docdir=PATH" ... what are you using exactly? What does "pg_config --docdir" report? regards, tom lane

I think docdir is separate from the regular prefix. Try specifying
--docdir to configure.
