libpq++-4.0-r1.ebuild does odd tricks to fixup installation paths for libpq++. The attached .ebuild replaces those tricks by a patch, which allows passing variables to the make program. The .ebuild also changes the installation locations for libpq++: The current .ebuild installs in in /usr/include and /usr/lib, whilest all other postgres files are in /usr/include/postgres and /usr/lib/postgres. From reading libpq++'s Makefile it appears like the upstream maintainer also suggests $prefix/include/postgres and $prefix/lib/postgres. This this behavoir also reduces /usr/include pollution a little bit, I've adopted the second schema. This step should not cause any problems, since linking with libpq++ also requires you to like with libpq, which requires /usr/include/postgres to be added to the include-path and /usr/lib/postgres to the library path anyway. Well, and finally I've added some statements to install libpq++'s documentation. Something that's very important for developers using the library. ;-) Is there a way to avoid the stuff in examples/ getting compressed? Should the stuff in examples/ and html/ only be installed, when "docs" is in USE? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 20486 [details] The new .ebuild
Created attachment 20487 [details, diff] The directory-variable patch.
Forgot to mention: Also updated HOMEPAGE to point on http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/libpqpp/projdisplay.php. Well, and accordingly to that page the package's license is BSD, not LGPL-2.1.
Created attachment 20490 [details] A new new .ebuild D'uh: Just looked at libpq. Installing any crap in /usr/include and /usr/lib appears to be common sense among the Gentoo core developers. Well, don't like it, but I've modified my .ebuild to follow that convention.
Created attachment 20491 [details, diff] A new directory-variable-patch This new patch additionally fixes the way the Makefile creates the libpq++.so symlink: The Makefile tries to create an absolute symlink, which must produce nonsense within the sandbox. The patch turns the symlink into a relative symlink.
The license is still wrong in all dev-cpp/libpqpp ebuilds. Otherwise, I have no clue if this bug even remotely applies now. So - pgsql herd, please fix the license at least.
Finally fixed. LOL, it took more than 3 years to fix this!!!
