From 3ab1d6bb3fe03d618305a236d776f5276be38275 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Aug 22 2007 21:27:31 +0000 Subject: Remove postgresql package's local copy of tzdata files, so it won't need to be turned for routine timezone updates. --- diff --git a/postgresql-use-zoneinfo.patch b/postgresql-use-zoneinfo.patch new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2fbccc0 --- /dev/null +++ b/postgresql-use-zoneinfo.patch @@ -0,0 +1,59 @@ +PostgreSQL includes its own copy of the zic timezone database, which is great +for ensuring portable results but not so great from a package maintenance +perspective. Since the data is in the same format as is provided by the +Linux-standard /usr/share/zoneinfo files, we can avoid having to update +postgresql for timezone updates by just symlinking to those files. + +It is allegedly desirable for the link in question to be a relative symlink. +I have strong doubts about this, not least because it requires the horrid +install-time kluge seen below --- we can't use a simple relative symlink when +making the temporary installation used for "make check", since that will be at +an indeterminate location compared to /usr/share. The actual relative link +also depends fundamentally upon knowing where the PG datadir will get +installed, namely /usr/share/pgsql. + +And if you thought that was bad, it turns out that RPM has some fundamental +bugs that make it difficult or impossible to replace a directory with a +symlink during RPM upgrade. Rather than risk getting caught in that quagmire, +we choose to name the symlink something different than its predecessor +subdirectory. (This part of the hack could perhaps get undone someday, when +there is no longer any danger of someone trying to rpm-upgrade from an +installation that isn't patched this way.) + + +diff -Naur postgresql-8.2.4.orig/src/timezone/Makefile postgresql-8.2.4/src/timezone/Makefile +--- postgresql-8.2.4.orig/src/timezone/Makefile 2007-03-14 13:38:15.000000000 -0400 ++++ postgresql-8.2.4/src/timezone/Makefile 2007-08-22 16:57:41.000000000 -0400 +@@ -38,14 +38,18 @@ + $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(ZICOBJS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBS) -o $@$(X) + + install: all installdirs +- ./zic -d '$(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/timezone' -p '$(POSIXRULES)' $(TZDATAFILES) ++ if [ x'$(DESTDIR)' = x`echo '$(DESTDIR)' | sed 's,tmp_check/install,,'` ] ; then \ ++ ln -s '../zoneinfo' '$(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/zoneinfo' ; \ ++ else \ ++ ln -s '/usr/share/zoneinfo' '$(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/zoneinfo' ; \ ++ fi + $(MAKE) -C tznames $@ + + installdirs: + $(mkinstalldirs) '$(DESTDIR)$(datadir)' + + uninstall: +- rm -rf '$(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/timezone' ++ rm '$(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/zoneinfo' + $(MAKE) -C tznames $@ + + clean distclean maintainer-clean: +diff -Naur postgresql-8.2.4.orig/src/timezone/pgtz.c postgresql-8.2.4/src/timezone/pgtz.c +--- postgresql-8.2.4.orig/src/timezone/pgtz.c 2006-11-21 18:11:55.000000000 -0500 ++++ postgresql-8.2.4/src/timezone/pgtz.c 2007-08-22 16:57:04.000000000 -0400 +@@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ + return tzdir; + + get_share_path(my_exec_path, tzdir); +- strlcpy(tzdir + strlen(tzdir), "/timezone", MAXPGPATH - strlen(tzdir)); ++ strlcpy(tzdir + strlen(tzdir), "/zoneinfo", MAXPGPATH - strlen(tzdir)); + + done_tzdir = true; + return tzdir; diff --git a/postgresql.spec b/postgresql.spec index 4be14a2..98ec2a4 100755 --- a/postgresql.spec +++ b/postgresql.spec @@ -81,7 +81,7 @@ Summary: PostgreSQL client programs and libraries Name: postgresql Version: 8.2.4 -Release: 3%{?dist} +Release: 4%{?dist} License: BSD Group: Applications/Databases Url: http://www.postgresql.org/ @@ -105,6 +105,7 @@ Patch4: postgresql-test.patch Patch5: pgtcl-no-rpath.patch Patch6: postgresql-perl-rpath.patch Patch8: postgresql-prefer-ncurses.patch +Patch9: postgresql-use-zoneinfo.patch BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) glibc-devel bison flex autoconf Prereq: /sbin/ldconfig initscripts @@ -342,6 +343,7 @@ system, including regression tests and benchmarks. # patch5 is applied later %patch6 -p1 %patch8 -p1 +%patch9 -p1 #call autoconf 2.53 or greater %aconfver @@ -602,10 +604,6 @@ fi if [ $1 -ge 1 ] ; then /sbin/service postgresql condrestart >/dev/null 2>&1 || : fi -if [ $1 = 0 ] ; then - userdel postgres >/dev/null 2>&1 || : - groupdel postgres >/dev/null 2>&1 || : -fi %if %plperl %post -p /sbin/ldconfig plperl @@ -745,7 +743,7 @@ rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %{_datadir}/pgsql/postgres.shdescription %{_datadir}/pgsql/system_views.sql %{_datadir}/pgsql/*.sample -%{_datadir}/pgsql/timezone/ +%{_datadir}/pgsql/zoneinfo %{_datadir}/pgsql/timezonesets/ %{_libdir}/pgsql/plpgsql.so %dir %{_datadir}/pgsql @@ -822,6 +820,13 @@ rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %endif %changelog +* Wed Aug 22 2007 Tom Lane 8.2.4-4 +- Use tzdata package's data files instead of private copy, so that + postgresql-server need not be turned for routine timezone updates +- Don't remove postgres user/group during RPM uninstall, per Fedora + packaging guidelines +- Rebuild to fix Fedora toolchain issues + * Sun Aug 12 2007 Tom Lane 8.2.4-3 - Recent perl changes in rawhide mean we need a more specific BuildRequires
