Hello OSX007,
You are on the right track, for sure. The goal of the params.pp is to set
default values for those things and allow you to override them in your own
manifests. It's definitely OK for you to edit params.pp directly if you
know for sure that the settings you've specified will always be the ones
that you want, but otherwise you should be able to override them in your
own manifests and pass them in without modifying the module's params.pp
directly. This would allow you to potentially use the module to manage
both 8.x and 9.x instances.
I'd love to put together a "test" manifest that illustrates how to do what
you're doing w/o modifying params.pp directly, and submit a pull request to
the module so that it will be easier for other folks to figure out how to
do it in the future. I'd also love to provide a single parameter like
"postgres_version" that you could just set to "9.1" and then add code to
the module that would switch all of those path variables to the correct
values for you. I hope to continue submitting pull requests with features
like that over time, but if you have any such submissions you'd like to
make yourself, I'm sure they'd be welcomed!
