Yes, if you are running deb/ubuntu or RHEL/Cent.

Unknown as there is very little if any communication from 2Q about
PgLogical.

Play with? Yes. I have been testing it since 1.0. 1.1 is on my list this
week, it supposedly fixes a few things that i ran into but see my
comment about communication. Whether or not it is production ready still
remains to be seen, there are way too many, "It through this error, what
does it mean" and "Why doesn't the documentation tell me X?"
If we advocate PgLogical it needs to be opened up more or at least the
message should be one of, "Look at what cool things companies can do
with the Pg extension API" not of "Look at this new PostgreSQL project
thing"
Sincerely,
JD
