Slightly off-topic, but I really think we would benefit from trying to divide up contrib. Right now it's a mixture of (a) debugging and instrumentation tools (e.g. pgstattuple, pageinspect, pgrowlocks, pg_freespacemap, pg_buffercache), (b) server functionality that is generally useful but considered worth including in core (e.g. hstore, citext, pg_trgm), (c) deprecated modules that we keep around mostly for hysterical reasons (tsearch2, xml2, intagg), and (d) examples and regression test support (dummy_seclabel, spi, start-scripts). I think it would make things a lot easier for both packagers and actual users if we separated these things into different directories, e.g.: debugging and instrumentation tools -> src/debug server functionality -> contrib server functionality (deprecated) -> contrib/deprecated examples & regression test suport -> src/test/examples -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
