I realize we can move some changes into our code, but packagers are still going to need a way to do immediate adjustments to match their OS in time frames that don't match the Postgres release schedule. I was more asking if users have access to patches so they could recreate the build by using the Postgres git tree and supplied OS-specific patches. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Only you can decide what is important to you.
