Обсуждение: RPM update-alternatives

Hello All,

Where can I find details on why pg_ctl and pg_config are not installed
in /usr/bin via update-alternatives ?

Both are essential got tools for PostgreSQL and having them symlinked in
/usr/bin will help with portable end user scripts.

Currently in order to get INCLUDEDIR developer has to use
/usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/pg_config  --includedir
with hardcoded 9.4 version in it and if developer switch from 9.3 to 9.4
it requires changes.

Any possibility to add pg_ctl and pg_config to update-alternatives list ?

Thanks
Yogesh

We only create alternatives of the binaries that are cross version
compatible.
