#33145: postgresql90,postgresql91 improvement to Unicode support -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mail_ben_schmidt@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: postgresql90,postgresql91 -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment(by mail_ben_schmidt@…): I have updated the patch to address the autoconf version and variant issues. A better way of testing for the ICU library might still be nice. I found this which may help: http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net/ac- archive/ac_check_icu.html I'm also not 100% sure the patch is only effective for Unicode and doesn't mess up other multi-byte encodings. Still, now it's a variant, if it does mess something up, users can just turn it off. I did make the variant the default, though, as I expect most users will just be pleased that Unicode works as advertised. People might not even realise the issue has been addressed if the only change is a quietly added variant. Better to 'advertise' the new functionality by making it the default; if it breaks for some people, they'll soon find the problem and disable the variant. IMHO. Not sure how likely this is to get merged upstream on account of this discussion: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql- general/2010-01/msg00535.php but I'm still hopeful. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33145#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
