I've now got the postgresql testsuite working for a normal user, using the attached patch (based on gentoo, but simplified - they make one other change, which seems unnecessary, and use @SOCKETDIR@ then sed that to /tmp after applying the patch.
Bruce managed to get the tests working after su'ing to user postgres, but that doesn't work for me (details in the ticket). This is all because we now move the socket (and lock file) from /tmp to /run/postgresql. We do that with a sed, but using sed on the first of the test files is likely to be error prone (a lot of other SYSTEMQUOTE lines don't get changed), so I'm inclined to patch. Which begs the question - should I convert the sed to a patch and include it all together, as e.g. -use_run- or leave this patch separate ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
