With dev-db/postgresl upstream deciding to rename the naming scheme instead of 9.7 the live ebuild should now be slot 10. Changing the slot of dev-db/postgresl-9999 works, but eselect postgresql then has no idea what to do: # emerge -p postgresql These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R *] dev-db/postgresql-9999 # eselect postgresql list Available PostgreSQL Slots 9.6 9.6.0 Note that 9.6 gets properly handled while live/10 is not listed at all.
I'm working on another rewrite of the eselect module. It does catch the new slot format.
Created attachment 458860 [details] postgresql.eselect This version makes the move to a stateless eselect, and should be ready for harsh review. The goal here was to eliminate storing a bunch of files on the system with little utility as they're only used every few months, at most, when updating dev-db/postgresql I'm still working on figuring out the utility of the environment file. The LDPATH variable doesn't seem to be loaded anywhere. Anyone have any insights on this? I may be able to eliminate this file entirely and make one other person happy that they'll have access to manpages immediately.
if postgresql ever needed to go multilib, the lib_dir() implementation attached wouldn't work. Since we don't build multilib, I think we're fine for now tho.
Created attachment 462282 [details] postgresql.eselect To test this, save postgresql.eselect to /usr/share/eselect/modules Fixed numerous bugs. Much cleaner update section. No environment file (/etc/env.d/50postgresql) may or may not have an impact. Please test all your things.
Created attachment 462358 [details] postgresql.eselect A few more refinements. Now catches the case when there are no slots, and the case when there are slots but the previously selected slot is no longer available.
I now have 2.0 available in my overlay along with some updated PostgreSQL ebuilds. https://github.com/titanofold/titanofold-gentoo-x86 Really easy to add access. There may be another change or 2 I'll introduce to the eselect module, but it should be minor unless the lot of you discover some glaring issue.
commit 96fb4f98f5c23f3454f501efae669f7584f98568 Author: Aaron W. Swenson <titanofold@gentoo.org> Date: Wed Apr 12 11:31:54 2017 -0400 app-eselect/eselect-postgresql: Bug Fixes and Enhancements Version 2.0 is capable of handling the upcoming change in versioning for PostgreSQL. Links to pkg-config files of the selected slot are now created and managed by this module. Links to the man pages for the selected slot are now created and managed by this module. Slot-specific man pages are handled by the ebuilds. This version is stateless. It does not need to store any files to determine which slots and links are in use. Bugs: 597564, 512236, 564512
