Hello,

Out of curiosity, I wanted to know the meaning of "private" in postgresql-private-devel-16.6. rpm package name. Ideally, I saw postgresql-devel-* rpm packages, so I want to know if there is any specific reason for he word private in the name of rpm.

The "private" package was not downloaded from the PostgreSQL download page,
so we don't know anything about it.  Probably somebody packaged it for -
well - private use.
