Well, postgresql.conf is already relocatable. Is there any advantage in being able to move postgresql.auto.conf to a different location than postgresql.conf? I don't see any. I didn't follow the recovery.conf discussion, but I imagine that the reason for wanting to be able to relocate it is related to standby vs. master distinction. This doesn't apply to postgresql.auto.conf, I think, does it? If people want to drill real down, they can always have a postgresql.auto.conf that's a symlink. (In this light, we would ship an empty postgresql.auto.conf in a freshly initdb'd system. IIRC the current patch already does that.) -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
