Right, it has actually been on my long-term wishlist to replace that patch with an autoconfiscated one with a non-hardcoded version number. I just didn't do it yet because it was generally rejected when I proposed it upstream some years ago. > I am not sure the "libpq5" versioning is best; maybe we don't change the > API but we could certainly change error messages between versions.

Also, libpq5 built from -8.3 is used with postgresql-8.2 as well.

Re: [HACKERS] Versioned mo file installation
Solaris currently stores messages into separate directories like /usr/postgres/8.3/share/locale which solves multiversion problem, but it brings another problem, because gettext on solaris needs extra directory infrastructure. I think debians patch is good approach. Zdenek Peter Eisentraut napsal(a): One issue with packaged multiple-version installations (practiced by Debian, Solaris, and soon Fedora?) is that the mo files (translation files) should be in a fixed location like /usr/share/locale, which does not allow PostgreSQL-version specific subdirectories. The Debian packages solve this by appending a version number to the mo files themselves, as can be seen in this patch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pitti/postgresql/debian-8.3/annotate/127?file_id=03gettextdomains.pat-20060925215343-vp3e1xxgtg0tzea6-45 Solaris packaging is currently looking for a solution, and the Fedora initiative might as well? So I figured we could adopt something like the above patch as a built-in solution, as a build option or even by default.
