It reads to me like that extension is only for "Percona Server for PostgreSQL" which is a modified version of the server, not for the standard PostgreSQL server that we have in ports. It is possible that "Percona Server for PostgreSQL" could be added as a separate port (there may be some issues around libpq but probably could be worked-around). Obviously somebody wanting that would need to do the work. > Please advise what possible risks there are that discourages inclusion of > this extension. Extensions make it hard to use the pg_upgrade mechanism so major version upgrades might well need to include dump/restore. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
