Re: [Postgres-xc-developers] RPM Packaging XC

[Koichi S. <koi...@gm...>]

Hello David;

Thank you very much for the effort and sorry for the late response.
I agree on your points.   Yes, as PG, tarball directory should be
postgres-xc-1.1 or so.   Please let me change this in the following
releases.

As per documents, release tarballs include html and man.   Which is in
doc-xc/src/sgml, not in doc.    They all comes with XC-specific stuff
as well as differences as you found in XC pages.   The location of
docs is not described clearly in the notes, which need to improve.

We should consider the target installation directory especially when
XC coexists with PG.    Michael Meskes had similar problem in XC
packaging for Debian and I hope he has some experience and ideas on
this.

I need to maintain corresponding PG docs for work and for merge
process, it's convenient to have XC docs in a different directory.
Do you think original PG docs should not be a part of XC release?

On the other hand I'm worrying is Mason Sharp has already published
his rpms for linux 64bit and 32bit at his stormDB page.     I don't
know how long he can continue this work and it will be nice if you
visit his page and see how we can work together.

Please understand I highly appreciate for efforts of XC packaging,
which is a great help for XC deployment.

Mason, any more inputs?

Regards;
