Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1305979
feature request: include libpgport.a in postgresql-devel (or its dynamic version somewhere)
Last modified: 2017-08-01 16:44:40 EDT
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #784281 +++ Description of problem: libpgport.a library is required by couple of 3rd party packages to build (pg_bulkload among others), and it would be nice to have this library built as part of postgresql-devel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): any version-release of postgresql-devel included in recent Fedora or Rawhide How reproducible: n/a Steps to Reproduce: n/a Actual results: libpgport.a missing in postgresql-devel Expected results: libpgport.a present in postgresql-devel Additional info: repmgr is a very useful tool with Postgres and is available in the Postgres repos but not in the official RHEL repos. I would like to package repmgr in EPEL but currently this is not possible because libpgport.a is not available. This bugzilla is requesting that libpgport be made available as a dynamic library or that a postgresql-static package be added so that libpgport.a is available.
