You'd need to update libpq as well... Plus this is actually missing intentionally. For what reason was the threads flag removed intentionally? I've tried to find a reason in various gentoo & upstream lists why the underlying flag shouldn't be used in 8.0.8 however I've come up empty handed and now stand confused why 7.4.13 && 8.1.4 have the flag but 8.0.8 doesn't. Also, am I correct in infering that postgresql && libpg need to have this flag mutually set if they're to work together correctly? If so, libpq-7.4.13 needs to have the threads flag added OR postgresql-7.4.13 needs the flag removed. If you want I'll submit a new bug request w/ patches to address it. Please leave this opened, we know there is the problem with the threads flag, we've fixed it in the PostgreSQL Overlay (overlays.gentoo.org/proj/postgresql), but those ebuilds are still a little bit off until they are ready for usage. Basically the right solution is to add the threads USE flag to libpq 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 releases, not to libpq 7.3 too since that has no threads support, and also not to postgresql itself as only the library can be compiled threadsafe, the server/clients are all process-based (non-threading). Best regards, CHTEKK. Ebuilds for versions 7.3.16, 7.4.14, 8.0.9 and 8.1.5 of libpq and postgresql just hit Portage, those fix this correctly: only libpq 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 releases now have a "threads" USE flag. Best regards, CHTEKK. |
The above noted package is missing the 'threads' use flag found on 7.4.13 && 8.1.4 ebuilds.
