As Michel said there are many packages in the repo starts with
postgresql-*, all of them are not a part of the actual postgresql. Eg:
postgresql-pgpool
We need to correct them as well, if possible :)
Yup. pgRouting also provides rules for doing Debian packages, but there
does not appear to be any official Debian release yet:
http://packages.debian.org/search?
keywords=pgrouting&searchon=all&suite=all§ion=all
so we don't have to follow their postgresql-X.Y-pgrouting naming. In any
case, the Debian situation is probably different enough, in that they
have several PostgreSQL versions (like we have two Python stacks) and
parallel-installable PostgreSQL-dependent packages have to be prefixed to
avoid confusion.
In this case I'd defer to Tom as both a PostgreSQL developer and a Red
Hat employee :)
