Removing PostgreSQL server headers from libpq-dev



Hi,

I've just uploaded postgresql-9.3 which includes a fix for a very old
bug: #314427.

For compatibility reasons long forgotten, we have been shipping some
"server" include files in libpq-dev in /usr/include/postgresql/ that
should rather only live in /usr/include/postgresql/9.3/server/. These
are now removed from libpq-dev, and are now only available in the
postgresql-server-dev-9.3 package in the .../server/ location.

The files removed are:

-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/c.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/catalog/genbki.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/catalog/pg_type.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/mb/pg_wchar.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/nodes/nodes.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/pg_trace.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/port.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/postgres.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/postgres_fe.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/utils/elog.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/utils/errcodes.h
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/include/postgresql/utils/palloc.h

If you maintain a package needing these files, you should be
Build-Depending on postgresql-server-dev-all.

We expect little fallout from this change as PostgreSQL server modules
already B-D on -server-dev, but some client applications might need
fixing. (Though generally clients shouldn't be needing server headers
anyway. We'd be curious to hear about such cases.)
