>Description:
databases/postgis21 doesn't compile without the patch in PR-186563 (which works but hasn't been committed). But even after fixing that, postgis still doesn't work:
# sudo -u pgsql psql -d "my_db" -c "create extension postgis"
ERROR: could not open extension control file "/usr/local/share/postgresql/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
And indeed, that file doesn't exist:
# find /usr/local -name postgis.control | wc -l
0
Why? Because the pkg-plist for postgis21 lists half of its fundamental requirements as required by the RASTER option. An except of files that require RASTER that actually are required by *any* install of postgis:
%%RASTER%%share/postgresql/extension/postgis--2.1.0rc1--%%PORTVERSION%%.sql
%%RASTER%%share/postgresql/extension/postgis--2.1.0rc2--%%PORTVERSION%%.sql
%%RASTER%%share/postgresql/extension/postgis--2.1.0rc3--%%PORTVERSION%%.sql
%%RASTER%%share/postgresql/extension/postgis--unpackaged--%%PORTVERSION%%.sql
%%RASTER%%share/postgresql/extension/postgis.control
In the Makefile, %%RASTER%% is changed to comment out the plist line when RASTER isn't built:
.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MRASTER}
.if ${OSVERSION} < 900033
BROKEN= Raster suppport is broken on FreeBSD < 9.x
.endif
LIB_DEPENDS+= libgdal.so:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/gdal
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-raster --with-gdalconfig=${LOCALBASE}/bin/gdal-config
PLIST_SUB+= RASTER=""
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --without-raster
PLIST_SUB+= RASTER="@comment "
.endif
RASTER is a very large requirement that pulls in gdal which pulls in image processing dependencies (which as you can imagine usually means pulling in X11). It's not a requirement of postgis in general
>How-To-Repeat:
Install databases/postgis21 (this may mean applying the long-outstanding patch from PR-186563 to resolve the compile error on iconv). Then try to use it with a command like:
# sudo -u pgsql psql -d "my_db" -c "create extension postgis;"
>Fix:
I imagine that the fix is to go through pkg-plist and remove %%RASTER%% where it doesn't make sense. I don't know postgis well enough to tell these apart myself
