Hi,
I noticed that postgresql93-client port pulls in readline, which is GPLv3.
When I get rid of readline in Makefile 'USES' and also change the
bottom of the Makefile in postgresql93-server,
...
.include "${.CURDIR}/../postgresql92-server/Makefile"
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-libedit-preferred
It builds without readline and links against libedit in base:
# ldd /usr/local/bin/psql
/usr/local/bin/psql:
libpq.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libpq.so.5 (0x800885000)
libintl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 (0x800ab3000)
libssl.so.7 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.7 (0x800cbe000)
libedit.so.7 => /lib/libedit.so.7 (0x800f2a000)
libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x801161000)
libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x801385000)
libcrypto.so.7 => /lib/libcrypto.so.7 (0x80171e000)
libncursesw.so.8 => /lib/libncursesw.so.8 (0x801b16000)
.. there's a link to gettext libintl but that's LGPL (2.1)
Anyhow I haven't done testing with psql linked to libedit instead of
readline.. There's some noise about this a few years back but I don't
see anything recent. Anyone have any 'bad' recent experience with
libedit? pitfalls? It might be good to have libedit added as an
option. I'm working on an appliance and the readline dependency kinda
messes things up a bit for me. Obviously other remedies beyond ports
but I think it could be a nice option. Comments appreciated.
Thanks,
