Paul, Mark can correct me, but I do believe the
" Mark has a rage-induced aneurism and dies tragically." Goes with plan 2 :) or I at least will have a rage induced aneurism with plan 2. There are already thousands of files in share/contrib so I don't even run my sql files from that folder when I am installing PostGIS on Linux (I use the source folder). In other cases it really doesn't matter since other contribs usually have just one sql file and one uninstall (maybe). Now FWIW, I can grudgingly live with the versioned file names. Just can't live with everything in the same folder. Especially when we are talking about (n) postgis.sql, (n*4) postgis_upgrade..., (n) postgis_uninstall Thanks, Regina ---------------------- Well, that leaves us with several options, all of which gores someone's ox: 1. Leave the install exactly the way it is now, and Regina continues to make a "special" one for Windows. Unix and Windows don't match, directory-wise, but they do match filename-wise. Unix has less version info in the .sql files than Windows. 2. Change the install to have a versioned postgis-1.5.sql file installed directly into share/contrib along with all the other .sql files. Unix and Windows don't match directory-wise or file-wise, but Unix users get a versioned .sql file to match their .so files. 3. Hack the Makefile to override the pgxs install and installdirs targets to replicate Regina's Windows scheme. Unix and Windows match both directory-wise and file-wise, and Unix gets some version information to go with their .sql files. Mark has a rage-induced aneurism and dies tragically. Anyone care to start choosing so we can have a release? P.
