[postgis-devel] About EXTENSION from UNPACKAGED on PostgreSQL 13

[Sandro Santilli]

I've been thinking about this problem - reported in
https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/4643 - that
PostgreSQL 13 will NOT support following statement:

  CREATE EXTENSION .. FROM UNPACKAGED

... and I suppose a thread on mailing list is easier
to deal with, than ticket-talk.

So, questions:

  1. Is this OFFICIAL or could thing change again before
     version 13 goes final ? And can we have a say on the
     matter ?

  2. Is it possible for `CREATE EXTENSION postgis` to do
     the packaging if needed ?

  3. Would it be ok to package on create, for users ?
