[Pkg-postgresql-public] [Fwd: [Pkg-postgresql-private] New packaging system - ancillary packages]

[Oliver Elphick]

I sent this before Christmas, but I don't think it got through to people:

I've started to build the separate packages for different major versions
of PostgreSQL and am wondering what to do about some of the binary
packages.  So this is a request for advice and input.

There are packages such as python-pygresql and the -dev packages and the
obscure libraries that I don't think should be duplicated along with the
main ones.

What I'm thinking at the moment is that postgresql7.4-dev should
conflict with postgresql7.3-dev, so that only one of these will be
installed, presumably the latest one.  I don't propose to bother to
build libpqpp at all, since I'm not aware that anyone uses it.  I wonder
though which ancillary packages you think should be duplicated?  The
minimum is: postgresql, postgresql-client, postgresql-contrib, libpq3
where it differs substantially and postgresql-doc.  What others do you
want to see?
