postgresql_select @ 0.1 - problem with symlinks in postgresql92

[tony.theodore@…]

Hello,

After selecting the 9.2 version of postgresql with:

sudo port select --set postgresql postgresql92

the symlinks created in /opt/local/bin seem to be thrown out of sequence from pg_config onwards:

$ ls -l /opt/local/bin/ | grep postgresql92
[...]
ecpg -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/ecpg
initdb -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/initdb
pg_config -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/pg_basebackup
pg_controldata -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/pg_config
pg_ctl -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/pg_controldata
pg_dump -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/pg_ctl
pg_dumpall -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/pg_dump
pg_resetxlog -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/pg_dumpall
pg_restore -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/pg_receivexlog
postgres -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/pg_resetxlog
postmaster -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/pg_restore
psql -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/postgres
psql92 -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/psql
reindexdb -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/postmaster
vacuumdb -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/psql
vacuumlo -> /opt/local/lib/postgresql92/bin/reindexdb

Adding the two new binaries (pg_basebackup and pg_receivexlog) to

.../ports/databases/postgresql_select/files/base

fixes this for 9.2, but I'm not sure how it would affect earlier versions.

Cheers,

Tony

Has duplicate #35878.

Fixed in r97393. For the new files to be linked, they would have to be added to the base file in postgresql_select, and all the other postgresql* ports would have to indicate they do not provide them by listing "-" as the link targets.
