Cookbook fails on CentOS 6.4 due to package 'libpq-dev' about postgresql HOT 10 CLOSED

This will have been introduced in #88

In my opinion package("libpq-dev") shouldn't have been explicitly added, just to safeguard the possibility of a user shooting themselves in the foot by manually changing the attributes containing the package list that should have installed it

from postgresql.

To make matters more complicated, if you're using PGDG RPMs for PostgreSQL 9.x, the package will named postgresql93-devel - this should probably be a configurable attribute like node['postgresql']['client']['packages']

from postgresql.

@lflux, it is already in attr's:

if node['platform_version'].to_f >= 6.0 && node['postgresql']['version'] == '8.4'
  ...
else
  default['postgresql']['client']['packages'] = ["postgresql#{node['postgresql']['version'].split('.').join}-devel"]
end

I don't understand for what this libpq-dev, without checks to Debian/Ubuntu?

from postgresql.

@merqlove Oh yeah, you're absolutely correct and I just read the source really fast. Sorry about that.

from postgresql.

No prob's, @lflux :)
my solution:

# Without this "if" Chef also try to install this package on Centos/RHEL
if ["debian","ubuntu"].include? node['platform']
  package "libpq-dev" do
    action :nothing
  end.run_action(:install)
end

from postgresql.

That would work. I would suggest you could also remove that entire block (which was only recently added) as libpq-dev is already in the calculated list of package attributes for debian and ubuntu

from postgresql.

See #99

This should be solved by #151
