RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ 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.

If this issue is critical or in any way time sensitive, please raise a ticket through your regular Red Hat support channels to make certain  it receives the proper attention and prioritization to assure a timely resolution.

Version: postgresql-static-9.2.18-2.el7.x86_64
libpgport.a is present
=> Verified
