I there a way to specify that I want the contribs directory (and its children) compiled and installed during the build process in the various BSD ports systems? Of course I understand that what works on one BSD may not work on the others, but I don't see any FLAVORs or make options that would suggest there is a way to do this (I have looked in Open|Free ). Also as a minor complaint, I understand that the contribs aren't included in the default build for various reasons, but it would be nice to have some more information about them included in the documentation. I would expect some mention of them at least one of the postgresql-8.0.2/ README, INSTALL, configure, Makefile files, but there doesn't seem to be any. For example, searching the online docs for "contribs" "contribs -Release" or one of their members (ie "dbsize") comes up with release notes about how contribs/foo was updated or fixed, or how it might be used for testing something. I couldn't find any information online regarding how to build/install them short of downloading the source, unpacking, and reading the README files in the contrib directory. I can do this without too much trouble, but I expect that many people might not know where to look. Just a little nitpicking, but I figure if they're included in the release tarballs, there should probably be some more information on how to install them. Otherwise it's just wasted space :) Matt ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
