1. postgresql-7.0.2: install-sh cannot install pgaccess

   Lutz Birkhahn <lutz@osn.de> — 2000-07-28T15:29:20Z

   I downloaded the source files postgresql-7.0.2.tar.gz at Jul 12, 2000.
   
   Trying to install pgaccess, it did not correctly copy all files to the
   target directories.
   
   Reason: postgresql-7.0.2/src/bin/pgaccess/Makefile tries to install
   multiple
   files with one install command:
   
      $(INSTALL) $(INSTLOPTS) lib/*.tcl $(POSTGRESDIR)/pgaccess/lib
      ...
   
   But the install script postgresql-7.0.2/src/install-sh can only install
   *one* file at a time:
   
      # This script is compatible with the BSD install script, but was
   written
      # from scratch.  It can only install one file at a time, a
   restriction
      # shared with many OS's install
   programs.                                                                                         
   
   In the case of multiple files, the shell expands the *.tcl, so the
   install
   script installs the *first* file only into the target directory.

   This is fixed in current sources.
