• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Pacho Ramos 2017-05-28 09:41:52 UTC]

Would it be possible to add support for newer python versions also to old postgresql slots?

Thanks

I've added it in my overlay (https://github.com/titanofold/titanofold-gentoo-x86). I don't have time to fiddle around with a newer python, but if you can give it a quick go I'll push it to the tree.

This should suffice:

FEATURES="userpriv test" emerge -v dev-db/postgresql:9.2

It seems that this affects also slots 9.1, 9.3 and 9.4

Anyway, is it enough for me to simply add the new python versions to COMPAT and run tests in the way you suggested? If that is the case, I can do it locally ;)

9.1 is going to be tossed as soon as the latest bumps to 9.2+ are stabled. I changed the COMPAT for 9.3 and 9.4, but if it works with 9.2 (tests pass) it'll work with the rest.

I changed the COMPAT in my overlay already for 9.3 and 9.4 as well.

Just checked for all, they seem to pass tests fine. The only "issue" are this missing links problem with manpages... but that is probably unrelated with this bug:
QA: preinst
QA Notice: Symbolic link /usr/share/man/man1/clusterdb92.1 points to /usr/share/postgresql-9.2/man/man1/clusterdb.1 which does not exist.
QA Notice: Symbolic link /usr/share/man/man1/createdb92.1 points to /usr/share/postgresql-9.2/man/man1/createdb.1 which does not exist.
QA Notice: Symbolic link /usr/share/man/man1/createlang92.1 points to /usr/share/postgresql-9.2/man/man1/createlang.1 which does not exist.
...

I'm not getting those warnings. The links are created during src_install(), and looks like Portage (re)creates the links after the man pages are compressed.

Definitely unrelated to the COMPAT changes.
