Package: libpq-dev
Version: 8.1.0-2
Severity: normal
My problem with the new setup of libpq-dev + postgresql-server-dev ist
pg_config: this is installed in libpq-dev, and always points to the
latest postgresql-server-dev. This is very unfortunate, since I then
cannot build addons for older server versions (e.g. Slony, which only
builds against 8.0 AFAIK). I would recommend branding libpq-dev with the
pg version number, too, to enable builds for older pg versions. As an
alternative, have postgresql-server-dev-X.X supply it's own private
pg_config in a separate location (/var/lib/postgresql/X.X/pg_config?,
but I guess that's against some Debian policy). For me it makes absolute
sense to distribute pg_config with postgresql-server-dev, as it
describes how the server was built.

Hi Joerg!

I put it into libpq-dev since the large majority of packages are
client-side and should not use -server-dev.

In fact postgresql-server-dev-7.4 does ship
/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/pg_config, so you can happily use this
(see latest sid version of plr for an example how to build a
server-side extension for multiple versions).
-8.0 deliberately does not ship it any more since 8.0 will disappear
=66rom the archive soon. We have 7.4 and 8.1 already and I need to limit
the version inflation in order to keep postgresql supportable. So
please build server-side stuff against 8.1 (and optionally 7.4) now.

Right, for me too. :) If you want, I can add a symlink
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/pg_config -> /usr/bin/pg_config to
-server-dev-8.1, so that you can access pg_config from a consistent
path.
