From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041228 Firefox/1.0 Fedora/1.0-8 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 Additional info:
Created attachment 110037 [details] patch to add unversioned jar links Should be applicable to FC3 version as well.
Created attachment 110072 [details] 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...)
Patches are now pushed for FC3 and FC2.
