hi there, i am a postgres newbie, and tonight i installed it for the first time.
amaaq$ sudo pkg_add postgresql-server No packages available in the PKG_PATH useradd: Warning: home directory `/var/postgresql' doesn't exist, and -m was not specified postgresql-server-8.4.0: complete --- postgresql-server-8.4.0 ------------------- To use the postgresql server you have to create a database first. You find detailed instructions on how to install a database in the file /usr/local/share/doc/postgresql/README.OpenBSD. what about that useradd warning? could i also suggest leaving of full stops from install messages, or at least leaving a space before it, so the links can be copy pasted in the terminal? i think that is kind of accepted in the tech world.. incidentally i also think that the message is quite verbose, even tautologic... why not just say: To use the postgresql server you have to create a database first. Please read /usr/local/share/doc/postgresql/README.OpenBSD . i think the README.OpenBSD files are quite familiar to the community, they know that they are afterboot(8)'s ports(7) equivalent... -f -- pobody's nerfect!
