#20810: postgresql_select port request -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: apinstein@… | Owner: mww@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: | Port: postgresql_select -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * version: 1.7.1 => * type: enhancement => request * port: postgresql83 => postgresql_select Old description:
configure.args --sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc/${name} \ --bindir=${libdir}/bin \
After install the pgsql executables are all in /opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin/psql instead of /opt/local/bin. This is pretty annoying since I have to add the pg-specific bin dir to my path.
Why aren't these droppped into bin/? Is there a name conflict with executables from other ports? Do you want to preserve the ability to run multiple pg's side-by-side?
I would be OK with that decision but at least you should provide a variant to directly install the executables into the bin dir.
