One issue with packaged multiple-version installations (practiced by
Debian, Solaris, and soon Fedora?) is that the mo files (translation
files) should be in a fixed location like /usr/share/locale, which does
not allow PostgreSQL-version specific subdirectories.
The Debian packages solve this by appending a version number to the mo
files themselves, as can be seen in this patch:
Solaris packaging is currently looking for a solution, and the Fedora
initiative might as well? So I figured we could adopt something like
the above patch as a built-in solution, as a build option or even by
default.
Comments?
