I pretty much always install the debian package when possible, because then I know it conforms to the rest of my system, I can install stuff from the postgresql-contrib package, I can compile stuff against the postgresql-dev packages and know it works... Config files in /etc/ for example. However, something I have done is build my own debian packages. Grab latest source, copy debian dir over and run dpkg-buildpackage. I rarely do this but it's a good middleway. Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@xxxxxxxxx> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > From each according to his ability.
