How about the idea I mentioned, of we revise the patch to read versioned upgrades from the control file
rather than relying on said file to exist.
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/000201d92572%247dcd8260%2479688720%24%40pcorp.us
Even better, we have an additional control file, something like
postgis--paths.control
That has separate lines to itemize those paths. It would be nice if we could allow wild-cards in that, but I could
livewithout that if we can stop shipping 300 empty files.
Thanks,
Regina
