I'm using CentOS and updating Postgres with yum. Whenever Postgres is updated (even minor updates) the .bash_profile is replaced with the lines below. I was happy to see the idea of the .psql_profile added fairly recently, but I don't understand why the last line is commented out. I still have to remember to uncomment the last line in this file every time I update Postgres which seems to defeat the purpose.

The reason I need .pgsql_profile is that lots of useful Postgres executables (e.g. pg_archivecleanup) are not in the postgres path. Does everyone just use the full path name and change this in the configuration file for major updates?

[ -f /etc/profile ] && source /etc/profile
PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/9.5/data
export PGDATA
# If you want to customize your settings,
# Use the file below. This is not overridden

#[ -f /var/lib/pgsql/.pgsql_profile ] && source /var/lib/pgsql/.pgsql_profile
