Depends what you mean by "standard package"? The PGDG and Red Hat RPMs
certainly do install-all-headers. They are in the postgresql-devel
package, which seems appropriate to me.
I agree with the suggestion elsewhere in the thread about generalizing
the contrib Makefile framework to the point that it could be installed
as part of the -devel RPM, and then used to build user-written backend
functions. Ideally you could take one of the contrib subdirectories
by itself, and build it using only what is installed by postgresql-devel,
without needing access to the original source or build trees. I don't
think we are real close yet, though maybe Peter would have an idea what
would be needed. (Note this would also provide a usable solution to the
build-the-tutorial problem I mentioned.)
