At least we should configure postgres to have a default place that it looks for its configuration. |
Agreed. |
Possibly this is what is required: |
Did that work? |
I tried recompiling with that option and it was a no-go. After asking around in IRC and reading the documents i was told that there's no way to compile in a default server configuration file. |
You can add this to the caveat on the formula to specify location of server configuration |
I guess the caveat is the best we can do then. Thanks for asking around @BlakeGardner. |
Normally you would install an init script or equivalent that encodes the location of the data directory. |

As a PostgreSQL n00b, this is the information I wanted. Ideally we’d set a default configuration location for postgres to look, however apparently, this is not possible. Side note: it's about time we split caveats out. One of these is advise for failed builds, and I just added usage. Usage is hardly caveats, but generally usage is cool and we should encourage it as a separate section, and encourage people to add links perhaps.

Surely, surely, we should have this default to something?
