Yep, I don't quite see the problem, but I don't have the years of experience in terms of packaging you have, either. (NB: I use various --libdir and --bindir combinations that for some of packaging of PG I maintain for pg_upgrade, but that's not as complex as Debian, I guess). > I was confusing that with this: The problem that led to the pg_config > patch years ago was that we have a /usr/bin/pg_config in > (non-major-version-dependant) libpq-dev, and > /usr/lib/postgresql/NN/bin/pg_config in the individual > postgresql-server-dev-NN packages, and iirc the /usr/bin version > didn't particularly like the other binaries being in > /usr/lib/postgresql/NN/bin/. > > I guess it's time to revisit that problem now and see if it can be > solved more pretty today on our side. If you can solve that, my take is that it could make things nicer in the long-run for some of the TAP test facilities. Still, I'll try to look at a solution for this thread that does not interact badly with what you are doing, and I am going to grab your patch when testing things. -- Michael
