A new C++ interface for PostgreSQL

Welcome to libpqxx, the official C++ API to the PostgreSQL database
management system.

There are many similar libraries for PostgreSQL and for other
databases, some of them database-independent.  Most of these, however,
are fairly C-like in their programming style, and fail to take
advantage of the full power of the C++ language as it has matured
since the acceptance of the Standard in 1996.  What libpqxx brings you
is effective use of templates to reduce the inconvenience of dealing
with type conversions; of standard C++ strings to keep you from having
to worry about buffer allocation and overflow attacks; of exceptions
to take the tedious and error-prone plumbing around error handling out
of your hands; of constructors and destructors to bring resource
management under control; and even basic object-orientation to give
you some extra reliability features that would be hard to get with
most other database interfaces.

  Affects: users of databases/postgresql*

  Author: girgen@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    The server-side utilities of postgresql (initdb, initlocation,
    ipcclean, pg_controldata, pg_ctl, pg_id and pg_resetxlog) are now
    installed by the respective postgresql*-server port (previously
    they where installed with the client). If you update the client, you
    should also update the server to make sure you are not left without
    the server-side tools. Do something like:
  
  	portupgrade postgresql-client postgresql-server
  
  

- Update download location

Reported by:    -fetch-original pointyhat run

- Remove conditional checks relevant only on FreeBSD 5.x and older

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.

The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Updating to version 2.6.9:
  "Many things have changed. Bugs have been fixed, new features
  have been introduced. But most importantly, we're really retiring
  the old 1.x-style libpqxx API now. This API (where upper-case letters
  were still used in function names and such) has been supported for
  more than three years in the interest of backwards compatibility,
  but has been marked as obsolete all this time."

Update to 2.6.7

Conversion to a single libtool environment.

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order.  The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.

Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.

Preliminary documentation can be found at:
        http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

Light blue touch-paper.  Run.

The gborg.postgresql.org distributions exist on the main postgresql
ftp stites, so let's use them

Split the postgresql ports into a server and a client part.

All ports depending on postgresql shall use the USE_PGSQL=yes knob
defined in Mk/bsd.ports.mk. Bumping portrevisions where needed.

Apply a big libtool patch to allow porters to use the libtool installed by
the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port.  Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version.  To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER.  Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.

For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:

USE_LIBTOOL_VER=        15

To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:

USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER=    15

With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).

Add libpqxx.  libpqxx is no longer hosted under the main PostgreSQL tree and
is now a project on gborg.  libpqxx is still a supported interface.
