Description Raphael Kubo da Costa 2010-09-17 02:30:02 UTC
After updating the autoconf port to version 2.67, it bumped the port revision for postgresql84-server. However, whenever I run 'portmaster --no-confirm -d postgresql84-server' it fails with the following output:

===>  Found saved configuration for postgresql-client-8.4.4_1

Hi,

It seems postgresql 8.3 is also having issues with it :(

I think an appropriate fix would be to revive the autoconf-2.62 port.

Thanks

Here you can find a patch I made for postgresql84-server.
http://pastebin.com/ehjrrcE0
It should be trivial adapting it to the other versions.

WARNING:
in the original configure.in you can find the following lines:
"Untested combinations of 'autoconf' and PostgreSQL versions are not
recommended.  You can remove the check from 'configure.in' but it is then
your responsibility whether the result works or not."

I would suggest to backup your data and test it if before using in a 
production environment.
Don't blame me if something is not working as expected.
The patch fixes the build, but I'm not 100% sure that there are no impacts or 
side effects at runtime.
Maybe someone else could comment that.

Indeed, it does work fine now.

Shouldn't we close this PR?
