                the PGDG

                packages don't install into the "usual place" they are
                installed in version specific directories,

                including the data, binaries, libraries etc. How do
                people deal with this when for years they

                have been using postgres and "stuff" is in standard
                directories not version specific directories?

              
          It's actually nicer that it uses a version specific directory,
          IMO, since you can have two versions installed simultaneously
          for upgrade purposes.
          
            I just create symlinks data/ and backups/ in /var/lib/pgsql
            to point to the dirs of the same names under the 9.3/
            directory.
          

    How did you deal with binaries and libraries, as well as third party
    apps like perl modules or php/apache modules?
