Some ideas? Well, I'm not sure if pgsql-hackers is quite the right mailing list for this (there's a plv8 mailing list), but because plv8 is probably going to be so instrumental to many profitable uses I can help you address it quickly, and maybe some other denizens of -hackers will have some opinions, especially because this general problem is going to surface more frequently as number of extensions mushroom. Until a distribution/operating system integrator commits to packaging some version of plv8 and/or v8, I recommend employing static linking of plv8 to a self-downloaded libv8. This lets you handle multiple versions of plv8 and libv8 on the same system (but different database installs) and lets you get the latest and greatest v8s at-will. Alternatively, you may be determined to get the plv8 build to work with your OS of choice, even if they do not have packages. I think that's a longer discussion that'd need to happen at a plv8 mailing list. In general, I think if there is to be a guideline for Postgres extensions it should be to enable static linking of dependencies or perhaps a more detailed guideline involving enabling self-contained concurrent installs of dynamically linked extension dependencies. I am currently in the depths of dependency hell involving some of the GIS libraries and PostGIS and really, really wish I could do either of these. There is a relevant discussion here: https://code.google.com/p/plv8js/issues/detail?id=36#makechanges -- fdr
