Description Petr Janda 2013-05-03 08:04:50 CEST

Description of problem:
The package doesn't contain uuid_ossp extension. It seems to be used widely to generate UUIDs within PgSQL database.


How reproducible:
Install the contrib and find that it's missing

Question:
Is the only way to install the extension by building PostgreSQL from source?

Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

After enabling it and doing a local rebuild it's working fine, as per https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4848

So why don't we enable it by default, any particular reason why it's still disabled for all our postgresql versions? The comment in the SPEC doesn't provide much insight ...

adding Blino on CC, maybe we can fix this before mga3 is released.

Comment 2 Funda Wang 2013-09-10 03:28:01 CEST

Well, in configure.in, it says:
PGAC_ARG_BOOL(with, ossp-uuid, no, [build contrib/uuid-ossp, requires OSSP UUID library])

that means ossp-uuid is not enabled by default. So you may want to talk about it with upstream.

Anyway, I've enabled ossp-uuid in cauldron's postgresql 9.3

Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
