install.pl deploys by default the dll of modules needed for the tests, so no objections. Don't you think the TAP scripts in src/test/perl should be installed as well? I think that this would make sense for consistency with what other Nix platforms do, but there is no real installation of PGXS there. So perhaps they could be deployed in a different path like scripts/perl? -- Michael VMware vCenter Server www.vmware.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
