Обсуждение: External Projects in the PostgreSQL release

Hi!

I was wondering if any external projects get bundled into the Postgres
release, e.g. JDBC, etc. I'd like to get a better sense of the process. How
are decisions made as to which external projects to bundle, and who is
responsible for the quality/interoperability of those projects with the
core?

I'm sure other people will correct me, but AFAIK there has been an
effort recently to remove things from the main release that are not
actually maintained by the PostgreSQL core. So any project that has
its own developers and timeline is generally distributed by that
project. The PostgreSQL team releases: PostgreSQL.

Hope this helps,
