Folks,
Hey, I can see a way for /contrib to become a lot better option for stuff-we're-not-sure-whether-to-include.
What if we could build contrib modules through a build-time switch for PostgreSQL? Like,
./configure --with-perl --with-dblink --with-newsysviews
This would seem a *lot* more user friendly to me, and easier on the package builders. What's the technical obstacle to it?
Also, I think that /contrib modules should have documentation included in the main docs, probably as an appendix.
I could see --with-contrib but other than that... there are ALOT of packages in contrib.
Sincerely,
Joshua Drake
