Subject: contains too many files

Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2005 09:06:58 +0200

Package: libpq-dev
Version: 8.0.3-5
Severity: normal

Some of the header files included in this package are not for libpq development
and should be moved to postgresql-server-dev, namely:

usr/include/postgresql/8.0/c.h                              libdevel/libpq-dev
usr/include/postgresql/8.0/catalog/pg_type.h                libdevel/libpq-dev
usr/include/postgresql/8.0/nodes/nodes.h                    libdevel/libpq-dev
usr/include/postgresql/8.0/port.h                           libdevel/libpq-dev
usr/include/postgresql/8.0/postgres.h                       libdevel/libpq-dev
usr/include/postgresql/8.0/postgres_ext.h                   libdevel/libpq-dev
usr/include/postgresql/8.0/postgres_fe.h                    libdevel/libpq-dev
usr/include/postgresql/8.0/utils/elog.h                     libdevel/libpq-dev
usr/include/postgresql/8.0/utils/errcodes.h                 libdevel/libpq-dev
usr/include/postgresql/8.0/utils/palloc.h                   libdevel/libpq-dev

The libpgport library is also not really suitable for libpq development.

These files have not been in the first libpq-dev packages, but I added
them while doing the PostgreSQL client transition for main. Many
client packages need e. g. pg_type.h. All of these files are required
by at least one client package.

BTW, these files are present in -server-dev, too (i. e. in the server/
subdirectory), but I moved them to libpq-dev to avoid build-depending
on -server-dev in some client packages.

Clients that require pg_type.h are buggy and should fix their code or 
adjust their dependencies.

This has become an issue again.  I'm building a module for a back version of 
PostgreSQL.  (I know we're not supposed to use 8.0 any more, but the same is 
true for 7.4.)  These fake "client" header files contain symbols relevant to 
server version 8.1 but not present in earlier versions, so packages that do

-I/usr/include/postgresql -I/usr/include/postgresql/8.0/server/

will just crash during the build.  I suppose one could work around this by 
switching the order, but that a disproportional amount of work (patch 
configure etc.)

I would like to know exactly which packages require these fake client headers 
that I listed in my original messages.  I want to see if they can be fixed 
properly.

This should be fixed in 8.0.5-1.

Quite some AFAIR. To find out which, we need to wade through apt-cache
rdepends libpq4 and check whether the packages still build when
removing these files:

usr/include/postgresql/catalog/pg_type.h
usr/include/postgresql/nodes/nodes.h
usr/include/postgresql/utils/{elog,errcodes,palloc}.h
usr/include/postgresql/{c,pg_config,pg_config_manual,pg_config_os,port}.h
usr/include/postgresql/postgres{,_fe,_ext}.h

Failing example packages are pygresql and psycopg.

Thanks,

Martin

Subject: hsql-postgresql imports

Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2014 15:03:54 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Control: tag 741803 + upstream confirmed

Dear Nick,

hsql-postgresql started to fail to build on Debian because the header
file postgres.h was removed from libpq-dev. According to
https://bugs.debian.org/314427, this is a file that should only be used
for server-side programming and hence was removed from libpq-dev;
clients should only use these header files, it seems:

/usr/include/postgresql/libpq-events.h
/usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h
/usr/include/postgresql/libpq/libpq-fs.h
/usr/include/postgresql/pg_config_ext.h
/usr/include/postgresql/pg_config.h
/usr/include/postgresql/pg_config_manual.h
/usr/include/postgresql/pg_config_os.h
/usr/include/postgresql/postgres_ext.h

Could you look into this issue and possibly release a new version of
hsql-postgresql that uses them?

Thanks,
Joachim

That's correct.

If there are legitimate reason why this client-side application needs
a server-side header, the package could grow a build dependency on
postgresql-server-dev-9.3 to at least make this fact explicit and fix
the FTBFS in the short term.

Hi,

I've had a look at the haskell-hsql-postgresql source - the place
where it reads postgres.h and catalog/pg_type.h is where it defines
the mapping from haskell datatype -> PostgreSQL datatype. As the
package isn't just a client, but an interface driver (apparently using
the "binary" wire protocol), it's ok to make it depend on the server
headers.

Unfortunately there's not really a good place where else to pull this
information from. Maybe http://libpqtypes.esilo.com/ would help, but
this isn't packaged yet, and would require rewriting hsql-pg.

The OIDs of the exposed datatypes won't ever change, so B-D on
postgresql-server-dev-all is safe even if -9.3 will be replaced by
-9.4 or later in the future.

What worries me, though, is this:

Build-Conflicts:
 postgresql-server-dev-8.3,
 postgresql-server-dev-8.4

haskell-hsql-postgresql (1.7.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make postgresql-server-dev-8.[34] a Build-Conflicts (Closes: 559583)
    If this package is present at build-time, the resulting ghc-pkg info will
    reference a directory from it in Includes, causing the installation to
    fail (see #471786). But if it is not, everything goes well and we have one
    dependency less.

 -- Joachim Breitner <nomeata@debian.org>  Sat, 05 Dec 2009 17:10:34 +0100

I cannot reproduce the problem here with postgresql-server-dev-9.3
installed - the deps of the resulting .debs are the same, but I didn't
look into the package for file references in there.

B-C on packages that change name with every release seems fragile
anyway, so it would best be avoided.

Installing the new package will yield a warning
Warning: include-dirs: /usr/include/postgresql/9.3/server doesn't exist or isn't a directory
but not an error any more, so I think this is fine.

Uploading right now.

Thanks for your help, Christoph,

Hi all,

this weekend, finally, I have plenty of time to adapt hsql-postgresql.

Thanks to everybody from my side, too. :-)

Hi all,

include file postgres_fe.h users common/fe_memutils.h, but this is not 
included in libpq-dev. Include file common/fe_memutils.h is in 
postgresql-server-dev, because it uses on palloc.h.

It is necessary that postgres_fe.h used common/fe_memutils.h?
How to solve the "fe" Includes depends on the server?
It is necessary to re-open this bug?

Dear Nick,

sorry for the delay, I was on holidays. I compared your proposed 1.8.3
with 1.8.2, and found that you replaced constants from header files
found in postgresql-server-dev-9.3 by the numbers they represent.

I was able to solve the problem by build-depending on
postgresql-server-dev-9.3, so we (Debian) do not require you to do that
change.

It is up to you which variant you prefer: Less magic numbers in your
code, but your users will have to install
postgresql-server-dev-<some-version> before building the package, or the
change that you proposed as 1.8.3. From my point of view, either works
fine.

Thanks,
Joachim
