pgxs docdir question

Where does PGXS makefile get /usr/share/doc/pgsql/contrib directory
from?

While building 3rd party RPMs using PGXS, even if I specify docdir in
Makefile, README.* files are installed to this directory, which breaks
parallel installation path as of 9.0+

Maybe you need to fool with MODULEDIR. See

Well it's been working fine in debian without that for a long time
now. I've taken the liberty to CC Martin Pitt, because I don't have the
time to look at how things are done exactly in his debian packaging
there.

Has anyone used this successfully? It did not work for me, and I'm
hacking spec files in order to install docs under somewhere else.

I just tried it, and AFAICT the makefiles do honor "configure --docdir=PATH"
... what are you using exactly? What does "pg_config --docdir" report?

$ /usr/pgsql-9.0/bin/pg_config --docdir
/usr/share/doc/pgsql

I was expecting it to be somewhere in /usr/pgsql-9.0, where it is the
--prefix. Am I wrong?

I think docdir is separate from the regular prefix. Try specifying
--docdir to configure.

Thanks, I'll test (not now, but soon).
