Well, we have the Gentoo developer in this very thread. I'm sure they
would fix their command line if we gave them a pg_ctl that worked.
Surely the package that contains the init script also contains pg_ctl,
so they would both be upgraded simultaneously.
What is the fix? If they started the server by using --data-directory,
pg_ctl stop has no way to find the postmaster.pid file, and hence stop
the server. Are you suggesting we remove this ability?
I am suggesting they don't start it by using --data-directory in the
first place.
Agreed. If you remove that, the logical problem goes away and it
becomes a simple problem of dumping the contents of postgresql.conf and
having pg_ctl (and pg_upgrade) use that. Let me look at how much code
that would take.
Yeah, this pattern can be changed to have a config file that reads:
data_directory = '/path/to/data'
include '/path/to/common/config'
and I presume (or hope) that would meet your need, and not upset the FHS
purists.
