Permission is granted to copy and use this file for any purpose as long as the above Copyright statment is retained in the file. This is my port (version 1.1.A) of Postgres 4.1 for SVR4. It has been tested and found to mostly work on Interactive SVR4.0.3.0. It may or may not work on your SVR4 version. This is not a ``polished'' port, but it is being used in various projects and seems to work pretty well. It passes the regression tests with minor exceptions (due to nonportabilities in the design of Postgres). This software comes with *ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTEE*. If you have a problem with this port, you are free to email me about it, but unless the problem impacts my use of postgres I probably will not have time to do much about it. You would be better off trying to fix the problem yourself. If, however, you fix something in this port, *PLEASE SEND ME YOUR FIXES*, as I will try to keep this up to date, and that will help others who might want to use this port. ==================== Building this release =========================== 0) Pre-requsites: You need the Postgres V4.1 release from the postgres group. You may also need GNU sed, since the one on some SVR4 versions doesn't work with these sed scripts. You also need Patch. I am using Patch version 2.1 and I know that works. You also need Perl. I am using version 4.19 and I know that works. 1) Put the postgres release somewhere. Call that place X. Put the accompanying shar file somewhere. Call that place Y. 2) cd X/src/backend/port 3) sh Y/pgsvr4-1.1.a.shar 4) cd X/src 5) patch -p1
