[postgis] Mandrake install (about rpm release)

[Paul Ramsey]

OK, RPM'ers, I have a SRPM for postgresql which includes postgis.

http://postgis.refractions.net/rpms/postgresql-7.1.2-5PGDG.src.rpm

Build it (rpm --rebuild <src_rpm>), and in your RPMS directory you will
find...

postgresql-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-contrib-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-devel-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-docs-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-jdbc-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-libs-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-odbc-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-perl-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-postgis-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-python-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-server-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-tcl-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-test-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm
postgresql-tk-7.1.2-5PGDG.i586.rpm     

All the postgis files end up in /usr/lib/pgsql/postgis including the
all-important postgis.sql file. 

The spec file is a crime, but it works. I have binaries as well, but
they are only suitable for Mandrake 7/Red Hat 6 (glibc 2.0). Adrian, I
am guessing you are Mandrake 8.
