The usual answer is: "Don't, just install from the debian repositories or backports.org". Why do you need to build your own package? Your answer affects the way you should go about making a package, so it matters. - Is it to install a new Pg on an old version of Debian? If so, why can't you use the version on backports.org? - Do you want to modify a version that's already available as a package for your Debian version to compile it with different options? - Do you need a full-featured PostgreSQL package that interacts with postgresql-common and the wrapper scripts, does initdb for you on install, creates the "postgres" user, etc? Or do you just need a simple package that contains the files produced by "make install" where you still have to do all the post-install steps yourself? - What version of debian do you want to install on, and which version of PostgreSQL do you want to install? - Any other reasons you're doing this? Any other special needs? If you just need to package up the files produced by "make install", you can use checkconfig to make a simple deb. For more complex cases, what to do depends very much on what you answer above. -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
