Sorry but I couldn't find the bug-template file as indicated in
item 1.13 of the FAQ.
I came across a minor bug in PostgreSQL 7.0beta3 on my NetBSD 1.4
system when running initdb (compile was smooth):
initdb: data path must be specified as an absolute path
It seems the ! if this test takes precedence over the pipe:
if echo "$PGDATA" | grep -v '^/' > /dev/null 2>&1
then
echo "$CMDNAME: data path must be specified as an absolute path"
fi
This patch solves the problem:
--- initdb.orig Sun Apr 2 22:32:40 2000
+++ initdb Sun Apr 2 22:28:21 2000
@@ -282,7 +282,7 @@
# The data path must be absolute, because the backend doesn't like
# '.' and '..' stuff. (Should perhaps be fixed there.)
-if ! echo "$PGDATA" | grep '^/' > /dev/null 2>&1
+if echo "$PGDATA" | grep -v '^/' > /dev/null 2>&1
then
echo "$CMDNAME: data path must be specified as an absolute path"
fi
Anyway, thanks for your efforts, I've been using PostgreSQL for
nearly a year now and it really is a good RDBMS.
