We are not proposing including any of those things into our own distribution, only trying to figure out the best way to build PL modules that depend on both Postgres and these other projects. If we can see the right way to do this, I'd be in favor of pulling all of pltcl, plperl, and plpython out of the core distro. They are all sources of undesirable build dependencies. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
