1. 6.3.1 RH Linux 5.0 packages

   Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com> — 1998-04-02T02:08:49Z

   Hello,
   
   It took longer than I expected to build packages for v6.3.1 for RH Linux,
   mainly because I had problems compiling the beast.
   
   I am attaching a patch that is mostly Linux psecific, but also fixes
   (almost) all problems currently in the code regarding the use of
   $(DESTDIR) to have files installed in a different root directory.
   
   One problem I could not figure out is that postgresql will not compile if
   one already have the header files from a previous version installed. I
   think there is a problem with not passing all the local include files as
   compiler arguments in the libpq makefile, but I don't have time to look at
   it.
   
   Packages are available from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/home/gafton/pgsql.
   Feedback much appreciated.
   
   Also, I am unable to monitor this mailing list anymore due to increased
   workload, so please report any RH-Linux related problems regarding this
   packge directly to me.
   
   Best wishes,
   
   Cristian

   I'll try an upgrade on my RH5.0 machine at work tomorrow.

   We'll be sure to do so. btw, would it be of any help to have others look
   at the rpm packaging and give you a hand with that?
   
   Thanks for your support. We were gratified to find Postgres included in
   the RH5.0 distribution and would like to help it stay solid for you.

   Of course, suggestions, ideas, what did I miss, etc. Just please send me
   comments or suggestions, because I am _really_ bad at picking up
   improvements mailed to me like: "I've built a new package at <address>. If
   you take a look at it you'll find some nifty improvements to the package".
   One thing I can say about such a message: I won't take a look.
   :-)
   
   Best wishes,
   
   Cristian
