debian package splitting: pgagent should be distributed separately

From

Hi Dave,

as you know, I'm about to split the debian package so that pgagent can
be installed separately from pgAdmin III on a server for example.

I'm asking to myself if it would not be a good thing to distribute it
separately upstream. I mean, something like adminpacks that would live
its life in itself and not as a part of pgAdmin III.

What do you think about it ?

Cheers,
Raph

For one thing, it would allow us to remove some hacks that I added to
the makefiles to prevent pgagent from being included into the app-bundle
on osx.

Not entirely sure. Maybe we need a ./configure switch to build just pgAgent (or any other /xtra/ part)?

I'll ask some of the guys here what they think.

/D

Ok, it would help Florian to disable the build...
./configure --disable-pgagent.

Concerning my particular case it's not that important. The debian
packaging system is able to generate multiple "binary packages" from one
"source package". It's just a question of packaging.

Ok, let us know and a big hello to everybody around ;)
