Hi,
By that I mean the following:
$ rpm -q --scripts postgresql94 | egrep 'psql|pg_config'
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/psql pgsql-psql
/usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/psql 940
...
As a result, psql is available right away after installing the
package. But not so with pg_config. Is it by design or by accident?
More info here:

Regards,
Yuri

This is intentional. We don't provides alternatives entries for binaries that
are not shared between multiple versions.

Hi,
Can you possibly elaborate? These are the binaries for which you
provide alternatives:
psql
clusterdb
createdb
createlang
createuser
dropdb
droplang
dropuser
pg_basebackup
pg_dump
pg_dumpall
pg_restore
reindexdb
vacuumdb
Are they all binary equal for 9.x packages? For 9.x + 8.x packages? Or
they can have non-breaking changes? Or they can be used with any
PostgreSQL server of the same major version?
Regards,
Yuri

They are not *binary equal", but you can use 9.6's psql against 9.5 server, or
dump 9.5 db with 9.6's pg_dump.
That is why we keep them under /usr/bin.
