Peter, do you have time before the end of the month to sort this out? It would be nice to have a real solution in this area, because certainly we have some problems here. > I think by now I'm looking for a patch that does not > touch contrib at all (except perhaps contrib-global.mk). I would think that we'd want to make the contrib tree use whatever solution is developed for building outside the main source tree, simply because that's a handy test case for verifying that it's not broken. I won't commit hara-kiri if this is not solved for 7.5, but it is an open issue, especially for RPM and similar package installations. If Fabien's work is at all close to a usable solution, it'd be a shame not to get it done in this release cycle. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
