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?

========================================
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the
glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were
sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, " Fear not;
for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which
shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord." Luke 2:8-11
