I think --with-extra-version would do exactly the right thing for you: ./configure --with-extra-version=' (FooNix 1.2.3)' make make install $ psql --version psql (PostgreSQL) 11devel (FooNix 1.2.3) $ psql psql (11devel (FooNix 1.2.3)) Type "help" for help. =# select version(); PostgreSQL 11devel (FooNix 1.2.3) on ..., compiled by ... =# show server_version; 11devel (FooNix 1.2.3) =# show server_version_num; 110000 -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
