Christoph mentioned that issue when we met at FOSDEM, I've been expecting this change since then. :-) > We still do not plan to maintain multiple postgis versions within pgapt, > but the proposed renaming would mitigate the issue and allow not just > existing instances of the extension to continue to work, but even > 'CREATE EXTENSION'. > > Any concerns or are you okay with the proposed renaming? I have no issue with the renaming, it's consistent with the library package. But it's not sufficient to make the packages co-installable. A few of the files of the extension don't have the version in their name causing conflicts. Do you already have a solution for this in mind?
