i always searched for a possibilty to only compile the psql tool from the postgresql-package because i don't need a postgresql server on a client-box. now i finally found a solution by extenting the postgresql-ebuild with a psqlonly use flag. if it's enabled it will only compile psql + libpg.so and leave all the other stuff as it is. problem is the ebuild still depends on all the stuff that postgres needs for compiling. but i'm not experienced enough in ebuild writing to avoid this. i even tried to make an own postgresql-client.ebuild without luck. but perhaps this is still usefull for anyone.
Created attachment 41505 [details, diff] the patch for the additional use-flag
I really want to do this. But I'm not sure how we should do it.. Please see bug 55073 and comment something if you want. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55073 ***
