• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John L. Poole 2016-02-04 02:41:21 UTC]

Messages for package dev-db/postgis-2.2.0:

 * To finish installing PostGIS, follow the directions detailed at:
 * http://postgis.net/docs/manual-2.2.0/postgis_installation.html#create_new_db_extensions

The link should read:
http://postgis.net/docs/manual-2.2/postgis_installation.html#create_new_db_extensions

"2.2" instead of "2.2.0" as the latter results in a "Page not found"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create file /etc/portage/package.accept_works/postgis
2. add line: "=dev-db/postgis-2.2.0"
3. emerge dev-deb/postgis
Actual Results:  
link results in:
Not Found

The requested URL /docs/manual-2.2.0/postgis_installation.html was not found on this server.

Expected Results:  
documentation

Consider adding helpful example command, as well:

 Example commmand:
    psql -U postgres -d postgres  -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis;"
