The bespoke rule for installing that file looked like trouble but I forgot about it while looking at the rest of the code. It doesn't seem like teaching Mkvcbuild.pm about this specific file would be a real good plan. Can we get the DATA macro to handle it somehow? It's not going into the toplevel SHAREDIR --- will a relative path work? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

Yeah, after sleeping on it I think we need a general-purpose solution. There are likely to be more not fewer tsearch-related contrib modules in future; and even if you don't believe that, people will certainly want to use the PGXS infrastructure to build add-on dictionaries. So we should provide a DATA-like macro to specify installing stuff into $SHAREDIR/tsearch_data/, instead of making everyone reinvent the hack that's currently in dict_xsyn/Makefile. I was going to propose calling it DATA_TSEARCH, but DICTFILES would work too. Any preferences? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
