Care to explain?
Tried to in my other mail, but let me also point out that we
("PGDG"/Upstream) don't "own" the directory in which postgresql.conf
lives. At least on Debian and relatives, that directory isn't under
$PGDATA and it already has other files in it beyond postgresql.conf or
even the other PostgreSQL config files of hba and ident. Here's the
default directory setup on Debian for /etc/postgresql/9.2/main/:
-rw-r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 316 Jun 29 22:07 environment
-rw-r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 143 Jun 29 22:07 pg_ctl.conf
-rw-r----- 1 postgres postgres 4649 Jun 29 22:07 pg_hba.conf
-rw-r----- 1 postgres postgres 1636 Jun 29 22:07 pg_ident.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 19770 Jun 29 22:07 postgresql.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 378 Jun 29 22:07 start.conf
There's three other files there and some sysadmins may have already
created their own 'conf.d' directory, perhaps to use for building the
postgresql.conf file or similar. We must have a way to disable the
conf.d option and a way to name it something other than 'conf.d', imv.
Thanks,
Stephen
