Hi a= ll,

I noticed a small i= nconsistency between the PGDG= =C2=A0server-dev=C2=A0package for Debian-based distributions=

=C2=A0(postgresql-ser= ver-dev-<version>)=C2=A0and devel package for RHEL-based distr= ibutions=C2=A0

(postgre= sql<version>-devel) and I wanted to check if this is intentional.

=

On Debian-based systems, t= he=C2=A0postgresql-server-dev=C2=A0package includes the static library=C2=A0libpgfeutil= s.a,=C2=A0

w= hereas the corresponding RPM package (postgresql&l= t;version>-devel) does not include this library.

I wanted to understand whether thi= s difference is by design.

If so, could someone please share the reasoning behind excluding=C2=A0libpgfeutils.a=C2=A0from the RPM packaging?

It would help clarify whether this is something downstream p= ackagers should align with or handle separately.


Thanks for your time and for all the great work that goes into main= taining the PGDG repositories.
