repmgr is a popular external extension module. The README actually suggests moving the entire source tree into /contrib as an alternative to setting USE_PGXS=1. That does seem kind of weird, and yet I can understand the train of thought. My advice to others working on external modules would not be to generalise from the example of /contrib, but to generalise from the example of popular external modules. This is particularly important when targeting multiple Postgres versions. -- Regards, Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
