It seems to me that *this* is the more serious problem that we should fix instead. If, from the psql command prompt I could type: psql=# install module sampledb; Downloading sampledb from pgfoundry... Installing sampledb.... Connecting to sampledb.... sampledb=# it'd remove the need for pre-installing a rarely-needed ad-on, as well as being useful for other projects. For exmaple: psql=# install module US_Census_Tiger_Maps; Installing dependency Postgis... Installing module US_Census_Tiger_Maps.... to install a GIS system with all the road networks. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
