PostgreSQL not installing with cvs portfile

[stewartsmith@…]

collapses on 'contents-append'

in the portfile:

contents-append etc/rc.d/pgsql.sh

commenting out/removing this line lets everything go okay.

I have the complete portfile in my next bug, the one that says you can build 7.2.3 :)

Now the reason for it not installing is that the PostgreSQL ./configure script doesn't recognize darwin as a platform. I am building with the server variation

You *really* have to watch the PATH and what uname you're running. the GNU one doesn't do the right thing on OSX (where right thing=make things work).

FIX is: make sure OSX's uname is being run!
