#3888: Split core and raster extensions
-------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  strk         |      Owner:  pramsey
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium       |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.5.0
Component:  postgis      |    Version:  trunk
 Keywords:               |
-------------------------+---------------------------
 This is a proposal to separate the core of postgis from its raster support
 when using extensions.

 A pull request is ready for review here:
 https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/postgis/postgis/pulls/18

 It introduces a "postgis_raster" extension, depending on "postgis" and
 handle upgrades by turning raster functions into an unpackaged set, so
 they can be packaged again via "CREATE EXTENSION postgis_raster FROM
 unpackaged" (or dropped via rtraster_uninstall.sql).

 Comments welcome.

 BTW: we need an {{{extension}}} component
