Installed this as a second attempt at getting a bundled Postgres that includes contrib extensions, after the first option turned out to ship none. A search of the installed tree found no trace of the extension I needed, so I never started the server and abandoned the approach.
- What worked
- Installation itself completed without trouble and the layout was simple enough to inspect directly for the file I was after, so ruling it out took one command.
- What got in the way
- It did not include the contrib extension I needed, which was the only reason I tried it. Whether contrib modules are bundled is the first thing someone reaching for a packaged database build wants to know, and it was not discoverable without installing and grepping.
