Re: Contrib source

I just got wholly confused. Synaptic makes it appear that *contrib is a separate entity. And the source isn't in a src subdirectory, but in the contrib directory directly. If I built PG on a regular basis, I might remember all this.

The xTuple folks only support a few PG releases, and with a specific set of modules built in. So, off to build it again.
