+PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management
+system (ORDBMS) based on POSTGRES. With more than 15 years of
+development history, it is quickly becoming the de facto
+database for enterprise level open source solutions.
+
+Homepage: http://www.postgresql.org
+
+This script builds postgresql with a couple of useful features in the
+contrib directory.
+
+adminpack -
+        File and log manipulation routines, used by pgAdmin
+        by Dave Page <dpage@vale-housing.co.uk>
+
+tsearch2 -
+        Full-text-index support using GiST
+        by Teodor Sigaev <teodor@sigaev.ru> and Oleg Bartunov
+        <oleg@sai.msu.su>.
+
+
+Before you can run postgresql you'll need to create the
+database files in /var/lib/pgsql. The following should do
+the trick.
+
+  # su postgres -c "initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/data"
+
+Additionally, a logrotation script is added to /etc/logrotate.d/ and an
+rc.postgresql script is added.  In order to activate postgresql at boot
+time and shut it down properly upon system shutdown, add the following
+lines to the following files.
+
+  /etc/rc.d/rc.local
+  ==================
+
+  # Startup postgresql
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql ]; then
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql start
+  fi
+
+
+  /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown
+  ===========================
+
+  # Stop postgres
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql ]; then
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql stop
+  fi
+
+Additionally, you'll have to set the rc script to be executable just
+like any other Slackware rc script.
+
+  # chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql
+
