Description Bruno Friedmann 2019-03-21 08:19:37 UTC

With the new postgresql11-server-devel (which is good for building extensions) all packages that only need to have libpq dependency but are using pg_config to determine where to find lib and header can't be build without adding the full postgresql-server-devel in BuildRequires.

As this package is not present in 42.3, 15.0 distribution, this lead to unresolvable for those target, or need to readjust all spec files with again %if .

So the question is: shouldn't pg_config be in postgresql-devel normal package instead of server-devel-package ? Or what is the best way to handle the build ?

Comment 1 Bruno Friedmann 2019-03-21 08:26:25 UTC

To be more precise, the lack of pg_config broke packages that were working before 

BuildRequires:  pkgconfig(libpq)
