On Debian-based systems, the postgresql-server-dev package includes the static library *libpgfeutils.a*, whereas the corresponding RPM package (postgresql<version>-devel) does not include this library. I wanted to understand whether this difference is by design. If so, could someone please share the reasoning behind excluding *libpgfeutils.a* from the RPM packaging? It would help clarify whether this is something downstream packagers should align with or handle separately. Thanks for your time and for all the great work that goes into maintaining the PGDG repositories.

And sorry for the late reply. I understand now that this file* libpgfeutils.a* is included in debian packages. But I still wonder why it is still excluded from the RPM packages. And would that be okay if downstream packagers just go ahead and include it in RPM packages also? Or are we required to align with this and keep it as upstream only? -- <https://www.percona.com/; Manika Singhal Build and Release Engineer, Percona [email protected] Databases Run Better With Percona ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread
