From time to time people have raised the idea of a CPAN-like mechanism for downloading, building and installing extensions and the like (types, functions, sample dbs, anything not requiring Postgres itself to be rebuilt), and I have been thinking on this for the last few days. What sort of requirements would people have of such a mechanism? How do people envision it working?
