Bug 57534 – Add USE flag to enable PostgreSQL database support to the ebuilds.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Loren M. Lang 2004-07-18 17:24:44 UTC]

PostgreSQL database support, which is included in the mozilla source code, is not enabled by default and the current ebuilds for mozilla do not have an option to enable them.  Attached to this bug report is a patch for mozilla-1.6-r1 and mozilla-1.7 ebuilds with adds the USE flag pgsql.  Patch for 1.6-r1 tested and works, but patch for 1.7 not yet tested.

Reproducible: Always

Not sure what version of postgresql mozilla's sql support needs.  I made a guess
of 7.2.0.  Also, the sql support in mozilla is supposed to eventually support
other databases like mysql and oracle, but I'm not sure how to implement that. 
Maybe need a use flag for SQL and a use flag for PGSQL.

This patch has been tested and seems to work well with mozilla.

This has been sitting around a bit with a quick fix.. I'll take this.

In portage.  Added as an unstable revbump as the sql support needs more testing.
