What I am trying to do is prepare a complete binary package for postgis,
for use by other people who might or might not be offline.

Perhaps, but whether to bundle or split docs is a package system
cultural choice (pkgsrc tends not to split as much as most Linux
packaging systems, only splitting when including is painful and likely
unwanted by many), and I think orthogonal to all these issues.

  [three issues in 1.5.3, two of which were fixed in trunk already, all
  of which are fixed in trunk and 1.5 branch now]

Thanks for these changes.

  [reports w/o patches]

OK - I'll start on tickets for those issues (and ignore 1.5).



Also, trunk r8794 has one minor failure (looks to be a test assumption
issue, not a real bug) on:

  PostGIS is now configured for i386-unknown-netbsdelf5.1.

  -------------- Compiler Info -------------
   C compiler:           gcc -g -O2
   C++ compiler:         g++ -g -O2

  -------------- Dependencies --------------
   GEOS config:          /usr/pkg/bin/geos-config
   GEOS version:         3.3.2
   PostgreSQL config:    /usr/pkg/bin/pg_config
   PostgreSQL version:   PostgreSQL 8.4.10
   PROJ4 version:        47
   Libxml2 config:       /usr/pkg/bin/xml2-config
   Libxml2 version:      2.7.8
   JSON-C support:       No
   PostGIS debug level:  0

and the rest of the tests pass.

On
 loader/Latin1 ... failed ( wkb test: running shp2pgsql output: /tmp/pgis_reg_17179/loader.err)

I get:

 psql:/tmp/pgis_reg_9886/loader.out:7: ERROR:  value too long for type character varying(32)

and sure enough the insert statement seems to have more than 32 characters.

Is this known, or should I file a ticket?

(I can easily test with 8.3, 8.4, 9.0, and 9.1, but as 8.4 is the
current pkgsrc default I am trying that first.)
