OK, with two people now asking to have the patch removed, and with no comment from Thomas, I have removed the patch. This removes XLogDir environment variable, and -X postmaster/postgres/initdb/pg_ctl flag.
I have also removed the code that dynamically sized xlogdir. I will post the patch to patches, and keep the patch here in case it is needed later. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Curt Sampson wrote: > On Fri, 16 Aug 2002, Bruce Momjian wrote: > > > Part of the reason we can't "just continue to use the symlink method" is > > that the PGXLOG environment variable situation is currently in CVS > > beyond initdb and in postmaster, postgres, and pg_ctl, so we do have to > > do something before 7.3 or we will have new environment variable > > handling in all those commands, and I don't think we have agreement on > > that. > > Well, let's take it out, then, and use the symlink instead.
