I'm not really in favor of making /var/run be the out-of-the-box default, because it would discriminate against personal/testing installations (ie, you couldn't set it up without root privileges). It's a reasonable choice for distro-provided packages, but not so much for one-off builds --- think about the buildfarm if nothing else. Having said that, if we made it easier to configure things that way than by patching the source, I bet Martin Pitt isn't going to object. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
