After installing the dev-db/postgresql ebuild, the installation log contains a hint to enable autovacuum in ${ROOT}/etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf. However, the configuration file resides in /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf. So this should be probably reflected in the ebuild as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install dev-db/postgresql 2. fail to find the configuration file in the stated location 3. after a time span depending on prior postgresql experience, locate it in the data directory of the postgresql daemon Actual Results: I decided to disregard the information from the ebuild and successfully enabled autovacuum in /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf, restarted the postgresql daemon and verified the success of this action by doing a "show autovacuum;" at the psql prompt. Expected Results: It should have displayed the correct file location on successful installation.
I just saw that I forgot to supply the ebuild version. It's 8.2.4-r1.
Done. Thanks.
