Back in the good old days there was official 1st-party support for Linux:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
Those binaries could be tar xvf'd and used without any fuss or muss, from any location, on any distro.
I'm the core maintainer of https://webinstall.dev/ and I'm thinking to break our "official builds only" rule because, well, I haven't been able to find any way to get up-to-date builds from an official channel - and apt is always half-a-decade out-of-date (part of the reason for Webi, but Webi is far worse in this case, stuck at v10).
Could I get some help on how to do that?
Are the old build processes documented somewhere? Or are there some scripts in a far corner of the Internet that could still do that?
Or what options might I need to pass to ./configure to get it to build with relative locations?
I'm not a C developer, and I'm not familiar with C build tools beyond ./configure; make; sudo make install.
I'd really appreciate some direction on this. Thanks.

Still there.
The below is for the EDB installer, which at this point is only for
MacOS and Windows as Unixen platforms have there own packaging. This
was/is a third party site.

I don't see that. Using PGDG repo on Ubuntu 22.04:
apt list --installed | grep postgres

As to Apt build scripts:
