It has to be all or none one way or the other, or your package manager will try to install things you already have, possibly breaking how you set things up, or you end up with missing bits and pieces. We choose to make packages locally to satisfy all of our dependencies as it also greatly simplifies management across 30+ servers. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
