1 Dear List,
2
3 This module is to replace the existing one that is shipped with
4 <app-admin/eselect-postgresql-1.0.3. It is an entire rewrite.
5
6 Changes can be tracked at:
7 http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pgsql-patches.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/eselect

9 Before you start reading the attached module, please bear in mind that I
10 am a novice at writing BASH scripts, and am not intimately familiar with
11 all the nuances of the language.
12
13 There is some duplication of work within the module when compared with
14 the current postgresql-{base,server}-*.ebuilds in the tree. The plan is
15 to move that work being handled in the ebuilds to the module.
16
17 Setting a service slot has been dropped from the module as it is no
18 longer necessary.
19
20 Features:
21 * Supports --brief output
22 * Prefix compatible
23 * Slot specific application links (e.g., psql90, createdb84)
24 * Automatically sets the highest slot available as the default unless a
25 valid slot is already set
26 * Properly orders LDPATH giving preference to the set slot and then
27 lists the other slots in descending order
28
29 Thank you.

31 Sincerely,
32 Mr. Aaron W. Swenson (TitanOfOld)
