[Pgcluster-general] RPMs

[Sipos Ferenc]

Hi,

You can make your own postgresql-pgcluster RPMs very-very simply.
Download postgresql source rpm into /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS directory and
install it (rpm -i postgresql.XXX.src.rpm). It touch the
postgresql-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 into SOURCES directory and postgresql.spec file
into SPECS directory. Download pgcluster patch to and put it into the
SOURCES directory. Add the following lines into postgres.spec file

Add the "Patch7 ..." line here:
[...]
Patch6:         postgresql-perl-rpath.patch
Patch7:         pgcluster-1.7.0rc3-patch
(replace the pgcluster-1.7.0rc3-patch with the current patch file name.)


And here the %patch7...:
[..]
%patch6 -p1
%patch7 -p1

And here these three lines:
[...]
%{_bindir}/reindexdb
%{_bindir}/vacuumdb
%{_bindir}/pgcbench
%{_bindir}/pglb
%{_bindir}/pgreplicate

I marked with red color the new lines you should insert.
After that you only have to run rpmbuild -bb xxxx.spec
And after that you have your own postgresql RPMs with pgcluster in it.
I you got an erro regards libpq.so while you run rpmbuild, you have to
modify the .spec file:

from:
%package libs
Summary:        The shared libraries required for any PostgreSQL clients
Group:          Applications/Databases
Provides:       libpq.so

to:
%package libs
Summary:        The shared libraries required for any PostgreSQL clients
Group:          Applications/Databases
Provides:       libpq.so.4



Best Regards,
Ferenc Sipos

Thanks Victor

Unfortunately, we've installed pgCluster from source on our development
boxes, but I will try and install the rpms on another box later this
week/early next.
