I had the same idea when Peter wished to remove PGXS from the contrib shiped with postgreSQL. I've been convinced that if we want to apply testing on pgxs makefile then we need something dedicated. Not abusing the current options. I'm in favor of removing PGXS from all contrib makefile, not only this one. -- Cédric Villemain +33 (0)6 20 30 22 52 http://2ndQuadrant.fr/ PostgreSQL: Support 24x7 - Développement, Expertise et Formation
