Asterisk 1.0.9 packages require PostgreSQL 8.0 to build

[Mark Purcell]

Thanks J=E9r=F4me,

Can you file these types of issues through the BTS, there are a couple of u=
s=20
working on it at the same time and the BTS is the best place to cordinate.

The header file 8.0/libpq-fe.h is available in libpq-dev, which is supporte=
d=20
by libpq4 which is in unstable. Most of the autobuilders=20
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=3Dasterisk are coping fine so it doe=
sn't=20
=46TBFS!

As stated in 70_debian-libpe-fe.dpatch this check should really be done in =
the=20
Makefile, rather than hardcoded in an #include statement. Short cuts like=20
these certainly make backports difficult. As has been stated many times, it=
=20
would be great if upstream used autoconf :-(

Actually after having another look at 70_debian-libpe-fe.dpatch, I did the=
=20
check in the Makefile under cdr, but not under apps, but didn't clean up th=
e=20
include. I have now copied the Makefile code from cdr/Makefile to=20
apps/Makefile and it should work for your backport.

I have uploaded these changes to svn.debian.org, which you can checkout, or=
=20
they should make it into the next release.  I'm having some problems with t=
he=20
bristuff though :-(

Mark
