Subject: [gentoo-dev] RFC: New PostgreSQL categories
Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2024 14:49:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7eb6a37e-bd6a-434b-b97a-21eacdbed981@gentoo.org> (raw)
Hello everyone,
I've just returned from the pgconf.eu conference, and this has motivated
me to try to improve the packaging situation for all things PostgreSQL
in Gentoo.
Right now everything just goes into dev-db/ category. That's not
inherently wrong, but it feels a bit overloaded to me. So I'd like to
add two new categories. I'm relatively indifferent about the naming,
good suggestions welcome, but locally I ended up naming them "pg-tools"
and "pg-extensions". As the name suggests, one category is tools around
PostgreSQL, and the other is extensions. (Or maybe it makes sense to put
all of it into a dev-postgres category?)
A good amount of things are in-tree already, a lot of other things I've
accumulated in a local repository. Most of it is very boring (i.e. most
extensions 'just' use a plain Makefile) and has low rate of change.
The packages involved are:
- extensions, in-tree:
dev-db/plr
dev-db/pgrouting
dev-db/citus
dev-db/pgtap
dev-db/postgis
dev-db/slony1
dev-db/pglogical
dev-db/timescaledb
- extensions, new packages:
pg-extensions/clickhouse_fdw | Clickhouse ForeignDataWrapper for PostgreSQL
pg-extensions/icu_ext | An extension to expose functionality from ICU
to PostgreSQL applications.
pg-extensions/lantern | Vector similarity search for Postgresql
pg-extensions/mongo_fdw | MongoDB foreign data wrapper for Postgresql
pg-extensions/mysql_fdw | MySQL/MariaDB foreign data wrapper for Postgresql
pg-extensions/odbc_fdw | ODBC FDW for PostgreSQL
pg-extensions/pg_auto_failover | Monitors and manage automated failover
for Postgres clusters
pg-extensions/pg_crash | Reliably crash PostgreSQL
pg-extensions/pg_cron | simple cron-based job scheduler for PostgreSQL

pg-extensions/pg_failover_slots | Failover for replication slots
pg-extensions/pg_globalxact | tools for distributed transactions within
PostgreSQL
pg-extensions/pg_hint_plan | tweak PostgreSQL execution plans with hints
pg-extensions/pg_ivm | Incremental View Maintenance for PostgreSQL
pg-extensions/pg_jobmon | Autonomous logging capabilities for
PostgreSQL transactions/functions
pg-extensions/pg_partman | PostgreSQL Partition Manager
pg-extensions/pg_profile | find the most resource intensive activities

pg-extensions/pg_qualstats | statistics on predicates found in WHERE
statements and JOIN clauses
pg-extensions/pg_stat_kcache | Gathers statistics about real reads and
writes done by the filesystem layer
pg-extensions/pg_wait_sampling | sampling based statistics of wait
events in PostgreSQL
pg-extensions/pgfaceting | Vector similarity search for Postgresql
pg-extensions/pgroonga | Fast FullTextSearch for PostgreSQL
pg-extensions/pgsphere | PostgreSQL extension for spherical geometry
pg-extensions/pgsql-ogr-fdw | OGR FDW for PostgreSQL
pg-extensions/pgvector | Vector similarity search for Postgresql
pg-extensions/pgvectorscale | enhanced ML/vector extension
pg-extensions/pllua | Embeds Lua into PostgreSQL as a procedural
language module.
pg-extensions/postgres-tde-ext | experimental encrypted access method
pg-extensions/postgresql-unit | SI Units for PostgreSQL
pg-extensions/rum | RUM access method
pg-extensions/tds_fdw | TabularDataStream foreign data wrapper
The tools are:
- in tree:
dev-db/barman
dev-db/pg_top
dev-db/pgagent
dev-db/pgbouncer
dev-db/pgcli
dev-db/pgmodeler
dev-db/pgpool2
dev-db/pgxnclient
dev-db/phppgadmin
dev-db/pspg
dev-db/psqlodbc
dev-db/repmgr
dev-db/slony1
- new packages:
pg-tools/patroni | PostgreSQL HA with ZooKeeper, etcd or Consul
pg-tools/pg_catcheck | Postgres system catalog check tool
pg-tools/pg_checksums_ext | Postgres data checksum tool
pg-tools/pg_timetable | Advanced scheduling for PostgreSQL
pg-tools/pgbackrest | Simple, reliable, scalable backup solution to
postgres
pg-tools/pgcopydb | Postgres DB copy tool
pg-tools/pgloader | loads data into PostgreSQL
pg-tools/pgroll | Zero-downtime, reversible, schema migrations for Postgres
pg-tools/sqlpage | A SQL-only web application framework. Takes .sql
files and formats the query result using pre-made configurable
professional-looking components.
