[Slackbuilds-users] PostgreSQL & /usr/share/postgresql

[Thomas Morper]

Hello there,

I noticed a minor problem with the PostgreSQL SlackBuild.

The script installs all libs and binaries into a path containing the 
version number, e.g. /usr/lib64/postgresql/9.4. This allows a parallel 
install of two versions which is required for the pg_upgrade utility.

As I now noticed the files in /usr/share/postgresql are version dependent, 
too. Installing 9.4 overwrote the 'Default' time zone set, but 9.3 
couldn't parse the enhanced syntax and pg_upgrade failed.

I'd suggest adding "--datadir=/usr/share/$PRGNAM/$PG_VERSION" to the 
SlackBuild's configure call. This will keep extensions, time zone sets and 
auxilliary files for text search separate between versions.
