Hello.
I have a question on PostgreSQL 8.4 packaging.
Currently we have disabled runpath for PG and ship postgres-common package which contains libpq. But what if we ship several PG versions? Are we sure in binary compatibility of, let's say, 9.2 libpq and 8.4 clients?

I just would like to estimate pros and cons of removing "--disable-rpath" switch.

I'd like to remove it (so that each PostgreSQL binary has correct embedded rpath) , ship almost empty postgres-common package (containing only user and group definitions) and make /usr/postgres/{bin,lib}, /usr/bin/psql, /usr/lib/libpq.so mediated links (or perhaps even avoid shipping /usr/lib/libpq.so by default). For example, currently mysql doesn't ship libraries in /usr/lib.

What do you think?
