Description of problem:
Hi,

The postgresql JDBC jar files changed name from postgresql 7 to 8. 
Our package's build process depended on those versioned names.  Most
other Java packages (from jpackage.org, which are now feeding into
rawhide) include a "generic" symlink to the specific version of the
jar file.  This patch adds these unversioned symlinks to the versioned
jar files, so our package build process can just reference them and
avoid a hard dependency on a particular postgresql version.

Since our primary development (and hopefully deployment) platform will
be FC3, it would be nice if this patch could be applied to the FC3
branch and released as an update there.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
postgresql-8.0.0-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Moo

Should be applicable to FC3 version as well.

updated patch to add jar links

I discovered that my patch breaks the build; surprisingly, RPM apparently
somehow manages to turn "cd /foo && command" into two separate shell commands,
thus changing the current directory and breaking later code.  This updated
patch forces it to be one command by running it in a subshell.

Done in postgresql-8.0.1 for devel tip; will add in the back branches as opportunity 
presents.  (Which will be soon, since we now have security updates to push...)
Comment 4 Tom Lane 2005-02-07 21:38:16 UTC 
Patches are now pushed for FC3 and FC2.
