As Debian packager I would very much like to see a more convenient and controllable configuration system. Ross described last week the Debian method of symlinking the real config files in /etc/postgresql to $PGDATA/; this method is forced on us by Debian policy, which requires that all config files be in /etc. The undesired result is that it is not convenient to run multiple servers on a single machine using the Debian package. I am currently considering a method of getting round this by creating a subdirectory of /etc/postgresql for each server instance, but it would be nice to be able to share global options in more convenient ways than by multiplying symlinks. -- Oliver Elphick Oliver.Elphick@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faithGod has given you."
